Sound Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAA BBCCC AAAAA DEEEEE| Some are laughing some are weeping | A |
| She is sleeping only sleeping | A |
| Round her rest wild flowers are creeping | A |
| There the wind is heaping heaping | A |
| Sweetest sweets of Summer's keeping | A |
| By the cornfields ripe for reaping | A |
| - | |
| There are lilies and there blushes | B |
| The deep rose and there the thrushes | B |
| Sing till latest sunlight flushes | C |
| In the west a fresh wind brushes | C |
| Through the leaves while evening hushes | C |
| - | |
| There by day the lark is singing | A |
| And the grass and weeds are springing | A |
| There by night the bat is winging | A |
| There forever winds are bringing | A |
| Far off chimes of church bells ringing | A |
| - | |
| Night and morning noon and even | D |
| Their sound fills her dreams with Heaven | E |
| The long strife at length is striven | E |
| Till her grave bands shall be riven | E |
| Such is the good portion given | E |
| To her soul at rest and shriven | E |
