Battle Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC CDCE FGFG| SOMEWHERE 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 |
