Bright Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHIH| Bright moon that high in heaven art shining | A |
| All smiles as if within thy bower to night | B |
| Thy own Endymion lay reclining | A |
| And thou wouldst wake him with a kiss of light | B |
| By all the bliss thy beam discovers | C |
| By all those visions far too bright for day | D |
| Which dreaming bards and waking lovers | C |
| Behold this night beneath thy lingering ray | D |
| - | |
| I pray thee queen of that bright heaven | E |
| Quench not to night thy love lamp in the sea | F |
| Till Anthe in this bower hath given | E |
| Beneath thy beam her long vowed kiss to me | F |
| Guide hither guide her steps benighted | G |
| Ere thou sweet moon thy bashful crescent hide | H |
| Let Love but in this bower be lighted | I |
| Then shroud in darkness all the world beside | H |
