Sonnet To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFBEGHGH| O soft embalmer of the still midnight | A |
| Shutting with careful fingers and benign | B |
| Our gloom pleas'd eyes embower'd from the light | A |
| Enshaded in forgetfulness divine | B |
| O soothest Sleep if so it please thee close | C |
| In midst of this thine hymn my willing eyes | D |
| Or wait the Amen ere thy poppy throws | E |
| Around my bed its lulling charities | F |
| Then save me or the passed day will shine | B |
| Upon my pillow breeding many woes | E |
| Save me from curious conscience that still hoards | G |
| Its strength for darkness burrowing like a mole | H |
| Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards | G |
| And seal the hushed casket of my soul | H |
