Invocation To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGI JKJK| Come 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 |
