Slumber-song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHIJKLM| Sleep and my song shall build about your bed | A |
| A paradise of dimness You shall feel | B |
| The folding of tired wings and peace will dwell | C |
| Throned in your silence and one hour shall hold | D |
| Summer and midnight and immensity | D |
| Lulled to forgetfulness For where you dream | E |
| The stately gloom of foliage shall embower | F |
| Your slumbering thought with tapestries of blue | G |
| And there shall be no memory of the sky | H |
| Nor sunlight with its cruelty of swords | I |
| But to your soul that sinks from deep to deep | J |
| Through drowned and glimmering colour Time shall be | K |
| Only slow rhythmic swaying and your breath | L |
| And roses in the darkness and my love | M |
