Fatigue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE CFCFStupefy my heart to every day's monotony | A |
Seal up my eyes I would not look so far | B |
Chasten my steps to peaceful regularity | A |
Bow down my head lest I behold a star | B |
- | |
Fill my days with work a thousand calm necessities | C |
Leaving no moment to consecrate to hope | D |
Girdle my thoughts within the dull circumferences | C |
Of facts which form the actual in one short hour's scope | D |
- | |
Give me dreamless sleep and loose night's power over me | A |
Shut my ears to sounds only tumultuous then | E |
Bid Fancy slumber and steal away its potency | A |
Or Nature wakes and strives to live again | E |
- | |
Let each day pass well ordered in its usefulness | C |
Unlit by sunshine unscarred by storm | F |
Dower me with strength and curb all foolish eagerness | C |
The law exacts obedience Instruct I will conform | F |
