Moonstruck Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBACADAAAAD| I have quarrelled with the Moon I loved her once | A |
| As all boys love one face supremely fair | B |
| I had heard her praised and I too happy dunce | A |
| Let my tongue wag and made her my heart's prayer | B |
| My prayer For what great heaven The midnight air | B |
| Seemed trembling in her presence and those nuns | A |
| The worshipping host knelt round her star and star | C |
| And sobbed magnificat'' in antiphons | A |
| She was my saint queen goddess Then one night | D |
| Another face I saw which not a god's | A |
| Moved me to dreams more sweet than reverence | A |
| And we were near our bliss when from the clouds | A |
| Her angry eyes looked down and drove us thence | A |
| Moonstruck and blind and robbed of our delight | D |
