Yet A Little Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE| Beside the drowsy streams that creep | A |
| Within this island of repose | B |
| Oh let us rest from cares and woes | B |
| Oh let us fold our hands to sleep | A |
| - | |
| Is it ignoble then to keep | A |
| Awhile from where the rough wind blows | B |
| And all is strife and no man knows | B |
| What end awaits him on the deep | A |
| - | |
| The voyager may rest awhile | C |
| When rest invites and yet may be | D |
| Neither a sluggard nor a craven | E |
| With strength renewed he quits the isle | C |
| And putting out again to sea | D |
| Makes sail for his desired haven | E |
