I Fellowed Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB EFEGE H IJKLM NONPQ RSDMAI 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 |
