Literature Text

Moon shining upon a fresh layer of snow
The clouds having just departed from the sky
The tiger in silence approaches and I-
Rise from my slumber to hear a zephyr blow

I try to sleep again but it remains slow
And still I see the tiger before my eyes
What acumen is he attempting to show?
What pure torture is he striving to defy?

Yet again slumber at last falls upon me
But the tiger does not come around this time
A slumber without visions of hope to see

Longing to know again all that is sublime
With the dawn comes the passerines' melody
It seems without the tiger, life has no rhyme
Also called the Spanish Sonnet. Spanish; heptasyllabic; RS: abba abba cdc dcd, abba abba cde cde, abab abba cdc dcd, abab abba cde cde, abba abab cdc dcd, abba abab cde cde
