Nuptial Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA CDCDCD| At length their long kiss severed with sweet smart | A |
| And as the last slow sudden drops are shed | B |
| From sparkling eaves when all the storm has fled | B |
| So singly flagged the pulses of each heart | A |
| Their bosoms sundered with the opening start | A |
| Of married flowers to either side outspread | A |
| From the knit stem yet still their mouths burnt red | A |
| Fawned on each other where they lay apart | A |
| - | |
| Sleep sank them lower than the tide of dreams | C |
| And their dreams watched them sink and slid away | D |
| Slowly their souls swam up again through gleams | C |
| Of watered light and dull drowned waifs of day | D |
| Till from some wonder of new woods and streams | C |
| He woke and wondered more for there she lay | D |
