Tears In Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDACBD| All night the cocks crew under a moon like day | A |
| And I in the cage of sleep on a stranger's breast | B |
| Shed tears like a task not to be put away | A |
| In the false light false grief in my happy bed | C |
| A labor of tears set against joy's undoing | D |
| I would not wake at your word I had tears to say | A |
| I clung to the bars of the dream and they were said | C |
| And pain's derisive hand had given me rest | B |
| From the night giving off flames and the dark renewing | D |
