In Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGHIJK

NOT drowsihood and dreams and mere idlessA
Nor yet the blessedness of strength regainedB
Alone are in what men call sleep The pastC
My unsuspected soul my parents voiceA
The generations of my forbears yeaD
The very will of God himself are thereE
And potent working so that many a doubtF
Is wiped away at daylight many a soilG
Washed cleanlier many a puzzle riddled plainH
Strong silent forces push my puny selfI
Towards unguessed issues and the waking manJ
Rises a Greatheart where a Slave lay downK
