Insomnia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCD EFFECDCD GHIGCDCD| Thin are the night skirts left behind | A |
| By daybreak hours that onward creep | B |
| And thin alas the shred of sleep | B |
| That wavers with the spirit's wind | A |
| But in half dreams that shift and roll | C |
| And still remember and forget | D |
| My soul this hour has drawn your soul | C |
| A little nearer yet | D |
| - | |
| Our lives most dear are never near | E |
| Our thoughts are never far apart | F |
| Though all that draws us heart to heart | F |
| Seems fainter now and now more clear | E |
| To night Love claims his full control | C |
| And with desire and with regret | D |
| My soul this hour has drawn your soul | C |
| A little nearer yet | D |
| - | |
| Is there a home where heavy earth | G |
| Melts to bright air that breathes no pain | H |
| Where water leaves no thirst again | I |
| And springing fire is Love's new birth | G |
| If faith long bound to one true goal | C |
| May there at length its hope beget | D |
| My soul that hour shall draw your soul | C |
| For ever nearer yet | D |
