The Tired Cupid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFBBEEAAGG| The thin moonlight with trickling ray | A |
| Thridding the boughs of silver may | A |
| Trembles in beauty pale and cool | B |
| On folded flower and mantled pool | B |
| All in a haze the rushes lean | C |
| And he he sits with chin between | C |
| His two cold hands his bare feet set | D |
| Deep in the grasses green and wet | D |
| About his head a hundred rings | E |
| Of gold loop down to meet his wings | E |
| Whose feathers arched their stillness through | F |
| Gleam with slow gathering drops of dew | F |
| The mouse bat peers the stealthy vole | B |
| Creeps from the covert of its hole | B |
| A shimmering moth its pinions furls | E |
| Grey in the moonshine of his curls | E |
| 'Neath the faint stars the night airs stray | A |
| Scattering the fragrance of the may | A |
| And with each stirring of the bough | G |
| Shadow beclouds his childlike brow | G |
