Battle Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC CDCE FGFG

SOMEWHERE O sun some corner there must beA
Thou visitest where down the strandB
Quietly still the waves go out to seaA
From the green fringes of a pastoral landB
-
-
Deep in the orchard bloom the roof trees standB
The brown sheep graze along the bayC
And through the apple boughs above the sandB
The bees' hum sounds no fainter than the sprayC
-
-
There through uncounted hours declines the dayC
To the low arch of twilight's closeD
And just as night about the moon grows grayC
One sail leans westward to the fading roseE
-
-
Giver of dreams O thou with scatheless wingF
Forever moving through the fiery hailG
To flame seared lids the cooling vision bringF
And let some soul go seaward with that sailG
