Modern Love Xv: I Think She Sleeps Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHIG| I think she sleeps it must be sleep when low | A |
| Hangs that abandoned arm toward the floor | B |
| The face turned with it Now make fast the door | B |
| Sleep on it is your husband not your foe | A |
| The Poet's black stage lion of wronged love | C |
| Frights not our modern dames well if he did | D |
| Now will I pour new light upon that lid | D |
| Full sloping like the breasts beneath 'Sweet dove | C |
| Your sleep is pure Nay pardon I disturb | E |
| I do not good ' Her waking infant stare | F |
| Grows woman to the burden my hands bear | F |
| Her own handwriting to me when no curb | E |
| Was left on Passion's tongue She trembles through | G |
| A woman's tremble the whole instrument | H |
| I show another letter lately sent | I |
| The words are very like the name is new | G |
