Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| The stars come out the fragrant shadows fall | A |
| About a dreaming garden still and sweet | B |
| I hear the unseen bats above me bleat | B |
| Among the ghostly moths their hunting call | A |
| And twinkling glow worms all about me crawl | A |
| Now for a chamber dim a pillow meet | B |
| For slumbers deep as death a faultless sheet | B |
| Cool white and smooth So may I reach the hall | A |
| With poppies strewn where sleep that is so dear | C |
| With magic sponge can wipe away an hour | D |
| Or twelve and make them naught Why not a year | C |
| Why could a man not loiter in that bower | D |
| Until a thousand painless cycles wore | E |
| And then what if it held him evermore | E |
