The Morning Sun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE DFGFGDHDH| Perhaps you sleep now fifty miles to the south | A |
| While I sit here and dream of you by night | B |
| The thick soft blankets drawn about your mouth | A |
| Have made for you a nest of warm delight | B |
| Your short crisp hair is thrown abroad and spilled | C |
| Upon the pillow's whiteness and your eyes | D |
| Are quiet and the round soft lids are filled | C |
| With sleep | E |
| - | |
| But I shall watch until sunrise | D |
| Creeps into chilly clouds and heavy air | F |
| Across the lands where you sleep and I wake | G |
| And I shall know the sun has seen you there | F |
| Unmoving though the winter morning break | G |
| Next you will lift your hands and rub your eyes | D |
| And turn to sleep again but wake and start | H |
| And feel half dreaming with a dear surprise | D |
| My hand in the sunbeam touching at your heart | H |
