Calm Be Thy Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCDC EFEFDGDG| Calm be thy sleep as infant's slumbers | A |
| Pure as angel thoughts thy dreams | A |
| May every joy this bright world numbers | A |
| Shed o'er thee their mingled beams | A |
| Or if where Pleasure's wing hath glided | B |
| There ever must some pang remain | C |
| Still be thy lot with me divided | D |
| Thine all the bliss and mine the pain | C |
| - | |
| Day and night my thoughts shall hover | E |
| Round thy steps where'er they stray | F |
| As even when clouds his idol cover | E |
| Fondly the Persian tracks its ray | F |
| If this be wrong if Heaven offended | D |
| By worship to its creature be | G |
| Then let my vows to both be blended | D |
| Half breathed to Heaven and half to thee | G |
