The Cat And The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGHIJIJKLKHMNO PQRQHSCS| The cat went here and there | A |
| And the moon spun round like a top | B |
| And the nearest kin of the moon | C |
| The creeping cat looked up | D |
| Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon | C |
| For wander and wail as he would | E |
| The pure cold light in the sky | F |
| Troubled his animal blood | G |
| Minnaloushe runs in the grass | H |
| Lifting his delicate feet | I |
| Do you dance Minnaloushe do you dance | J |
| When two close kindred meet | I |
| What better than call a dance | J |
| Maybe the moon may learn | K |
| Tired of that courtly fashion | L |
| A new dance turn | K |
| Minnaloushe creeps through the grass | H |
| From moonlit place to place | M |
| The sacred moon overhead | N |
| Has taken a new phase | O |
| Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils | P |
| Will pass from change to change | Q |
| And that from round to crescent | R |
| From crescent to round they range | Q |
| Minnaloushe creeps through the grass | H |
| Alone important and wise | S |
| And lifts to the changing moon | C |
| His changing eyes | S |
