To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFBEGHGHO 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 lords | 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 |
