'not Altogether Sleep' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDC CCEFFE| Blithe love what dubious ponderings bemuse | A |
| Thy lover's mind In me thy memories are | B |
| As attar in some alabaster jar | B |
| Wholly must I the rose drawn essence lose | A |
| Upon unbalmed oblivion and diffuse | C |
| Its odor on the dust And shall no star | B |
| Of ours illume that ebon calendar | D |
| I keep beneath the taproots of the yews | C |
| - | |
| Or shall in some ineffable permanence | C |
| The senses merge into one only sense | C |
| Holding thine image evermore apart | E |
| From suns expired arid cycles yet to come | F |
| Where time shall have none other pendulum | F |
| Than the remembered pulsings of thy heart | E |
