Read By Moonlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDBAB ABEEBFBAB| I paused to read a letter of hers | A |
| By the moon's cold shine | B |
| Eyeing it in the tenderest way | C |
| And edging it up to catch each ray | C |
| Upon her light penned line | B |
| I did not know what years would flow | D |
| Of her life's span and mine | B |
| Ere I read another letter of hers | A |
| By the moon's cold shine | B |
| - | |
| I chance now on the last of hers | A |
| By the moon's cold shine | B |
| It is the one remaining page | E |
| Out of the many shallow and sage | E |
| Whereto she set her sign | B |
| Who could foresee there were to be | F |
| Such letters of pain and pine | B |
| Ere I should read this last of hers | A |
| By the moon's cold shine | B |
