The Half-asleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAABACDCDCD| O for the mighty wakening that aroused | A |
| The old time Prophets to their missions high | B |
| And to blind Homer's inward sunlike eye | B |
| Show'd the heart's universe where he caroused | A |
| Radiantly the Fishers poor unhoused | A |
| And sent them forth to preach divinity | A |
| And made our Milton his great dark defy | B |
| To the light of one immortal theme espoused | A |
| But half asleep are those now most awake | C |
| And save calm thoughted Wordsworth we have none | D |
| Who for eternity put time at stake | C |
| And hold a constant course as doth the sun | D |
| We yield but drops that no deep thirstings slake | C |
| And feebly cease ere we have well begun | D |
