Sleep And Death. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGHIJKFHLH| Sleep puts sin by as the grave life's despair | A |
| And though bad dreams in sleep may come the soul | B |
| Is tainted not with error being then | C |
| Beyond the body's shade as in a sphere | D |
| Like that to which death may remove us when | C |
| The flesh itself is past pollution too | E |
| It is the waking thought that we must answer | F |
| When the whole man is up and the will has play | G |
| Not any drowsy essence that contrives | H |
| As with an ultramundane faculty | I |
| To act within us when the reason's gone | J |
| And that our temporal government laid aside | K |
| Our kingdom is left open as it were | F |
| Without a deputy to all the worlds | H |
| Whose mystic coursers may by stealth enact | L |
| Their wills upon us | H |
