Sonnet Xviii. To The Autumnal Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAEAMild Splendor of the various vested Night | A |
Mother of wildly working visions hail | B |
I watch thy gliding while with watery light | A |
Thy weak eye glimmers through a fleecy veil | B |
And when thou lovest thy pale orb to shroud | C |
Behind the gather'd blackness lost on high | D |
And when thou dartest from the wind rent cloud | C |
Thy placid lightning o'er th' awakened sky | D |
Ah such is Hope As changeful and as fair | E |
Now dimly peering on the wistful sight | A |
Now hid behind the dragon wing'd Despair | E |
But soon emerging in her radiant might | A |
She o'er the sorrow clouded breast of Care | E |
Sails like a meteor kindling in its flight | A |
