Sonnet Xxxi: With How Sad Steps, O Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDCEBB| With how sad steps O Moon thou climb'st the skies | A |
| How silently and with how wan a face | B |
| What may it be that even in heav'nly place | B |
| That busy archer his sharp arrows tries | A |
| Sure if that long with love acquainted eyes | A |
| Can judge of love thou feel'st a lover's case | B |
| I read it in thy looks thy languish'd grace | B |
| To me that feel the like thy state descries | B |
| Then ev'n of fellowship O Moon tell me | C |
| Is constant love deem'd there but want of wit | D |
| Are beauties there as proud as here they be | C |
| Do they above love to be lov'd and yet | E |
| Those lovers scorn whom that love doth possess | B |
| Do they call virtue there ungratefulness | B |
Sir Philip Sidney
