Norse Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCBC DDEECFC AAGGCHC| The sky is dark and the hills are white | A |
| As the storm king speeds from the north to night | A |
| And this is the song the storm king sings | B |
| As over the world his cloak he flings | B |
| Sleep sleep little one sleep | C |
| He rustles his wings and gruffly sings | B |
| Sleep little one sleep | C |
| - | |
| On yonder mountain side a vine | D |
| Clings at the foot of a mother pine | D |
| The tree bends over the trembling thing | E |
| And only the vine can hear her sing | E |
| Sleep sleep little one sleep | C |
| What shall you fear when I am here | F |
| Sleep little one sleep | C |
| - | |
| The king may sing in his bitter flight | A |
| The tree may croon to the vine to night | A |
| But the little snowflake at my breast | G |
| Liketh the song I sing the best | G |
| Sleep sleep little one sleep | C |
| Weary thou art anext my heart | H |
| Sleep little one sleep | C |
