Battle Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC CDCE FGFGSOMEWHERE O sun some corner there must be | A |
Thou visitest where down the strand | B |
Quietly still the waves go out to sea | A |
From the green fringes of a pastoral land | B |
- | |
- | |
Deep in the orchard bloom the roof trees stand | B |
The brown sheep graze along the bay | C |
And through the apple boughs above the sand | B |
The bees' hum sounds no fainter than the spray | C |
- | |
- | |
There through uncounted hours declines the day | C |
To the low arch of twilight's close | D |
And just as night about the moon grows gray | C |
One sail leans westward to the fading rose | E |
- | |
- | |
Giver of dreams O thou with scatheless wing | F |
Forever moving through the fiery hail | G |
To flame seared lids the cooling vision bring | F |
And let some soul go seaward with that sail | G |
