Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCC| Thou drowsy god whose blurred eyes half awink | A |
| Muse on me drifting out upon thy dreams | B |
| I lave my soul as in enchanted streams | B |
| Where revelling satyrs pipe along the brink | A |
| And tipsy with the melody they drink | A |
| Uplift their dangling hooves and down the beams | B |
| Of sunshine dance like motes Thy languor seems | B |
| An ocean depth of love wherein I sink | A |
| Like some fond Argonaut right willingly | C |
| Because of wooing eyes upturned to mine | D |
| And siren arms that coil their sorcery | C |
| About my neck with kisses so divine | D |
| The heavens reel above me and the sea | C |
| Swallows and licks its wet lips over me | C |
