To A Sleeping Child. Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACACDE| Thine eyelids slept so beauteously I deem'd | A |
| No eyes could wake so beautiful as they | B |
| Thy rosy cheeks in such still slumbers lay | B |
| I loved their peacefulness nor ever dream'd | A |
| Of dimples for those parted lips so seem'd | A |
| I never thought a smile could sweetlier play | B |
| Nor that so graceful life could chase away | B |
| Thy graceful death till those blue eyes upbeam'd | A |
| Now slumber lies in dimpled eddies drown'd | A |
| And roses bloom more rosily for joy | C |
| And odorous silence ripens into sound | A |
| And fingers move to sound All beauteous boy | C |
| How thou dost waken into smiles and prove | D |
| If not more lovely thou art more like Love | E |
