I Fellowed Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB EFEGE H IJKLM NONPQ RSDMA| I fellowed sleep who kissed me in the brain | A |
| Let fall the tear of time the sleeper's eye | B |
| Shifting to light turned on me like a moon | C |
| So planning heeled I flew along my man | D |
| And dropped on dreaming and the upward sky | B |
| - | |
| I fled the earth and naked climbed the weather | E |
| Reaching a second ground far from the stars | F |
| And there we wept I and a ghostly other | E |
| My mothers eyed upon the tops of trees | G |
| I fled that ground as lightly as a feather | E |
| - | |
| 'My fathers' globe knocks on its nave and sings ' | - |
| 'This that we tread was too your father's land ' | - |
| 'But this we tread bears the angelic gangs | H |
| Sweet are their fathered faces in their wings ' | - |
| 'These are but dreaming men Breathe and they fade ' | - |
| - | |
| Faded my elbow ghost the mothers eyed | I |
| As blowing on the angels I was lost | J |
| On that cloud coast to each grave grabbing shade | K |
| I blew the dreaming fellows to their bed | L |
| Where still they sleep unknowing of their ghost | M |
| - | |
| Then all the matter of the living air | N |
| Raised up a voice and climbing on the words | O |
| I spelt my vision with a hand and hair | N |
| How light the sleeping on this soily star | P |
| How deep the waking in the worlded clouds | Q |
| - | |
| There grows the hours' ladder to the sun | R |
| Each rung a love or losing to the last | S |
| The inches monkeyed by the blood of man | D |
| And old mad man still climbing in his ghost | M |
| My fathers' ghost is climbing in the rain | A |
