Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDDC| Love cradling Night lit by the lucent moon | A |
| Most pitiful and mother hearted Night | B |
| Blest armistice in life's tumultuous fight | B |
| Resolving discords to a spheral tune | A |
| When tired with heat and strenuous toil of noon | A |
| With ceaseless conflict betwixt might and right | B |
| With ebb and flow of sorrow and delight | B |
| Our panting hearts beneath their burdens swoon | A |
| - | |
| To thee O star eyes comforter we creep | C |
| Earth's ill used step children to thee make moan | D |
| As hiding in thy dark skirts' ample sweep | C |
| Poor debtors whose brief life is not their own | D |
| For dunned by Death to whom we owe its loan | D |
| Give us O Night the interest paid in sleep | C |
