Songs In Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDE BBBB FGFG| If I could frame for you in cunning words | A |
| The songs my heart in sleep is often singing | B |
| You'd fancy love an orquestra of birds | A |
| Upon their quivering throats the dawn were bringing | B |
| - | |
| Now in some wild weird flush of melody | C |
| I'd feign the skylark with his music sifting | B |
| The final films of nightshade from the lea | C |
| And all the waking world to heaven uplifting | B |
| - | |
| Then ere the lengthening liquid solo went | D |
| In skylark fashion out of hearing o'er us | E |
| I'd mock with skill as sweet as my intent | D |
| Thrustle and blackbird coming in for chorus | E |
| - | |
| There's not a strain of joy the birds could sing | B |
| I could not set to words that I've been dreaming | B |
| But when I wake alas they all take wing | B |
| And leave of music but the empty seeming | B |
| - | |
| Believe me love I sing to you in sleep | F |
| Songs that if voiced would waken you to pleasure | G |
| Would you could hear them in your dreams and keep | F |
| Their inner meaning though you missed the measure | G |
