Asleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE DGHG| As far from pity as complaint | A |
| As cool to speech as stone | B |
| As numb to revelation | C |
| As if my trade were bone | B |
| - | |
| As far from time as history | D |
| As near yourself to day | E |
| As children to the rainbow's scarf | F |
| Or sunset's yellow play | E |

| To eyelids in the sepulchre | D |
| How still the dancer lies | G |
| While color's revelations break | H |
| And blaze the butterflies | G |
