When Yon Full Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIJI KLML| When yon full moon's with her white fleet of stars | A |
| And but one bird makes music in the grove | B |
| When you and I are breathing side by side | C |
| Where our two bodies make one shadow love | D |
| - | |
| Not for her beauty will I praise the moon | E |
| But that she lights thy purer face and throat | F |
| The only praise I'll give the nightingale | G |
| Is that she draws from thee a richer note | F |
| - | |
| For blinded with thy beauty I am filled | H |
| Like Saul of Tarsus with a greater light | I |
| When he had heard that warning voice in Heaven | J |
| And lost his eyes to find a deeper sight | I |
| - | |
| Come let us sit in that deep silence then | K |
| Launched on love's rapids with our passions proud | L |
| That makes all music hollow though the lark | M |
| Raves in his windy heights above a cloud | L |
