The Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEF CCC GAHI JECK| Rest Master for we be a weary weary | A |
| And would feel the fingers of the wind | B |
| Upon these lids that lie over us | C |
| Sodden and lead heavy | A |
| - | |
| Rest brother for lo the dawn is without | D |
| The yellow flame paleth | E |
| And the wax runs low | F |
| - | |
| Free us for without be goodly colours | C |
| Green of the wood moss and flower colours | C |
| And coolness beneath the trees | C |
| - | |
| Free us for we perish | G |
| In this ever flowing monotony | A |
| Of ugly print marks black | H |
| Upon white parchment | I |
| - | |
| Free us for there is one | J |
| Whose smile more availeth | E |
| Than all the age old knowledge of thy books | C |
| And we would look thereon | K |
