The Moat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEEFFE| AROUND this lichened home of hoary peace | A |
| Invulnerable in its glassy moat | B |
| A breath of ghostly summers seems to float | B |
| And murmur mid the immemorial trees | C |
| The tender slopes where cattle browse at ease | C |
| Swell softly like a pigeon's emerald throat | B |
| And self oblivious Time forgets to note | B |
| The flight of velvet footed centuries | C |
| - | |
| The very sunlight hushed within the close | D |
| Sleeps indolently by the Yew's slow shade | E |
| Still as a relic some old Master made | E |
| The jewelled peacock's rich enamel glows | F |
| And on yon mossy wall that youthful rose | F |
| Blooms like a rose that never means to fade | E |
