To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABCA DAEDAE| Ah Sleep to me thou com'st not in the guise | A |
| Of one who brings good gifts to weary men | B |
| Balm for bruised hearts and fancies alien | C |
| To unkind truth and drying for sad eyes | A |
| I dread the summons to that fierce assize | A |
| Of all my foes and woes that waits me when | B |
| Thou mak'st my soul the unwilling denizen | C |
| Of thy dim troubled house where unrest lies | A |
| - | |
| My soul is sick with dreaming let it rest | D |
| False Sleep thou hast conspired with Wakefulness | A |
| I will not praise thee I too long beguiled | E |
| With idle tales Where is thy soothing breast | D |
| Thy peace thy poppies thy forgetfulness | A |
| Where is thy lap for me so tired a child | E |
