Hector Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DBC EBC EBC EBC FBC ABC DBC| Sleep sleep you great and dim trees sleeping on | A |
| The still warm tender cheek of night | B |
| And with her cloudy hair | C |
| - | |
| Brushed sleep for the violent wind is gone | D |
| Only remains soft easeful light | B |
| And shadow everywhere | C |
| - | |
| And few pale stars Hardly has eve begun | E |
| Dreaming of day renewed and bright | B |
| With beams than day's more fair | C |
| - | |
| Scarce the full circle of the day is run | E |
| Nor the yellow moon to her full height | B |
| Risen through the misty air | C |
| - | |
| But from the increasing shadowiness is spun | E |
| A shadowy shape growing clear to sight | B |
| And fading Was it Hector there | C |
| - | |
| Great helmed severe and as the last sun shone | F |
| Seeming in solemn splendour dight | B |
| Such as dream heroes bear | C |
| - | |
| And such his shape as heroes stare upon | A |
| In sleep's tumultuary fight | B |
| When a cry's heard Beware | C |
| - | |
| 'Twas Hector but the moment splendour's gone | D |
| Shadow fast deepens into night | B |
| Night spreads cold wide bare | C |
