Falling Asleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFGHIJ KLMNOPQRST UVW| Voices moving about in the quiet house | A |
| Thud of feet and a muffled shutting of doors | B |
| Everyone yawning Only the clocks are alert | C |
| - | |
| Out in the night there's autumn smelling gloom | D |
| Crowded with whispering trees across the park | E |
| A hollow cry of hounds like lonely bells | F |
| And I know that the clouds are moving across the moon | G |
| The low red rising moon Now herons call | H |
| And wrangle by their pool and hooting owls | I |
| Sail from the wood above pale stooks of oats | J |
| - | |
| Waiting for sleep I drift from thoughts like these | K |
| And where to day was dream like build my dreams | L |
| Music there was a bright white room below | M |
| And someone singing a song about a soldier | N |
| One hour two hours ago and soon the song | O |
| Will be 'last night' but now the beauty swings | P |
| Across my brain ghost of remembered chords | Q |
| Which still can make such radiance in my dream | R |
| That I can watch the marching of my soldiers | S |
| And count their faces faces sunlit faces | T |
| - | |
| Falling asleep the herons and the hounds | U |
| September in the darkness and the world | V |
| I've known all fading past me into peace | W |
