Sleepless Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BCDBBC| Girt in dark growths yet glimmering with one star | A |
| O night desirous as the nights of youth | B |
| Why should my heart within thy spell forsooth | B |
| Now beat as the bride's finger pulses are | A |
| Quickened within the girdling golden bar | A |
| What wings are these that fan my pillow smooth | B |
| And why does Sleep waved back by Joy and Ruth | B |
| Tread softly round and gaze at me from far | A |
| - | |
| Nay night deep leaved And would Love feign in thee | B |
| Some shadowy palpitating grove that bears | C |
| Rest for man's eyes and music for his ears | D |
| O lonely night art thou not known to me | B |
| A thicket hung with masks of mockery | B |
| And watered with the wasteful warmth of tears | C |
