The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB BBCC DDBB| The moon has a face like the clock in the hall | A |
| She shines on thieves on the garden wall | A |
| On streets and fields and harbour quays | B |
| And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees | B |
| - | |
| The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse | B |
| The howling dog by the door of the house | B |
| The bat that lies in bed at noon | C |
| All love to be out by the light of the moon | C |
| - | |
| But all of the things that belong to the day | D |
| Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way | D |
| And flowers and children close their eyes | B |
| Till up in the morning the sun shall arise | B |
