Invocation To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGI JKJKCome gentle sleep thou soft restorer come | A |
And close these wearied eyes by grief oppress'd | B |
For one short hour be this thy peaceful home | C |
And bid the sighs that rend my bosom rest | B |
- | |
Depriv'd of thee at midnight's awful hour | D |
Oft have I listen'd to the angry wind | E |
While busy memory with tyrant pow'r | F |
Would picture faded joys or friends unkind | E |
- | |
Or tell of her who rear'd my helpless years | G |
But torn away ere yet I knew her worth | H |
How oft tho' nature still the thought endears | G |
Has my worn bosom heav'd its tribute forth | I |
- | |
Come then soft pow'r whose balmy roses fall | J |
As heavenly manna sweet or morning dew | K |
Beneath thy wings my troubled thoughts recall | J |
And haply lend them some serener hue | K |
