Sonnet To The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD AADD EE| Now every leaf though colorless burns bright | A |
| With disembodied and celestial light | A |
| And drops without a movement or a sound | B |
| A pillar of darkness to the shifting ground | B |
| - | |
| The lucent thin and alcoholic flame | C |
| Runs in the stubble with a nervous aim | C |
| But when the eye pursues will point with fire | D |
| Each single stubble tip and strain no higher | D |
| - | |
| O triple goddess Contemplate my plight | A |
| Opacity my fate Change my delight | A |
| The yellow tom cat sunk in shifting fur | D |
| Changes and dreams a phosphorescent blur | D |
| - | |
| Sullen I wait but still the vision shun | E |
| Bodiless thoughts and thoughtless bodies run | E |
