The Shepherd, Looking Eastward, Softly Said Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBCDEDDDD| The Shepherd looking eastward softly said | A |
| Bright is thy veil O Moon as thou art bright | B |
| Forthwith that little cloud in ether spread | A |
| And penetrated all with tender light | B |
| She cast away and showed her fulgent head | A |
| Uncovered dazzling the Beholder's sight | B |
| As if to vindicate her beauty's right | B |
| Her beauty thoughtlessly disparaged | C |
| Meanwhile that veil removed or thrown aside | D |
| Went floating from her darkening as it went | E |
| And a huge mass to bury or to hide | D |
| Approached this glory of the firmament | D |
| Who meekly yields and is obscured content | D |
| With one calm triumph of a modest pride | D |
