Under The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFEEF GAAG| I have no happiness in dreaming of Brycelinde | A |
| Nor Avalon the grass green hollow nor Joyous Isle | B |
| Where one found Lancelot crazed and hid him for a while | B |
| Nor Uladh when Naoise had thrown a sail upon the wind | A |
| Nor lands that seem too dim to be burdens on the heart | A |
| Land under Wave where out of the moon's light and the sun's | C |
| Seven old sisters wind the threads of the long lived ones | C |
| Land of the Tower where Aengus has thrown the gates apart | A |
| And Wood of Wonders where one kills an ox at dawn | D |
| To find it when night falls laid on a golden bier | E |
| Therein are many queens like Branwen and Guinevere | E |
| And Niamh and Laban and Fand who could change to an otter or fawn | D |
| And the wood woman whose lover was changed to a blue eyed hawk | F |
| And whether I go in my dreams by woodland or dun or shore | E |
| Or on the unpeopled waves with kings to pull at the oar | E |
| I hear the harp string praise them or hear their mournful talk | F |
| - | |
| Because of something told under the famished horn | G |
| Of the hunter's moon that hung between the night and the day | A |
| To dream of women whose beauty was folded in dis may | A |
| Even in an old story is a burden not to be borne | G |
