The Crazed Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHIHJJ| Crazed through much child bearing | A |
| The moon is staggering in the sky | B |
| Moon struck by the despairing | A |
| Glances of her wandering eye | B |
| We grope and grope in vain | C |
| For children born of her pain | C |
| - | |
| Children dazed or dead | D |
| When she in all her virginal pride | E |
| First trod on the mountain's head | D |
| What stir ran through the countryside | E |
| Where every foot obeyed her glance | F |
| What manhood led the dance | F |
| - | |
| Fly catchers of the moon | G |
| Our hands are blenched our fingers seem | H |
| But slender needles of bone | I |
| Blenched by that malicious dream | H |
| They are spread wide that each | J |
| May rend what comes in reach | J |
