While The Fates Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC EFEFGHHG IDIDJKKJ| Come let us to the sunways of the west | A |
| Hasten while crystal dews the rose cups fill | B |
| Let us dream dreams again in our blithe quest | A |
| O'er whispering wold and hill | B |
| Castles of air yon wimpling valleys keep | C |
| Where milk white mist steals from the purpling sea | D |
| They shall be ours in the moon's wizardry | D |
| While the fates wearied sleep | C |
| - | |
| The viewless spirit of the wind will sing | E |
| In the soft starshine by the reedy mere | F |
| The elfin harps of hemlock boughs will ring | E |
| Fitfully far and near | F |
| The fields will yield their trove of spice and musk | G |
| And balsam from the glens of pine will fall | H |
| Till twilight weaves its tangled shadows all | H |
| In one dim web of dusk | G |
| - | |
| Let us put tears and memories away | I |
| While the fates sleep time stops for revelry | D |
| Let us look speak and kiss as if no day | I |
| Has been or yet will be | D |
| Let us make friends with laughter 'neath the moon | J |
| With music on the immemorial shore | K |
| Yea let us dance as lovers danced of yore | K |
| The fates will waken soon | J |
