Poppies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDADC EFAFE GHAHG AIAIA| These are the flowers of sleep | A |
| That nod in the heavy noon | B |
| Ere the brown shades eastward creep | A |
| To a drowsy and dreamful tune | B |
| These are the flowers of sleep | A |
| - | |
| Love s lilies are passion pale | C |
| But these on the sun kissed flood | D |
| Of the corn that rolls breast deep | A |
| Burn redder than drops of blood | D |
| On a dead king s golden mail | C |
| - | |
| Heart s dearest I would that we | E |
| These blooms of forgetfulness | F |
| Might bind on our brows and steep | A |
| Our love in Lethe ere less | F |
| Grow its flame with thee or me | E |
| - | |
| When Time with his evil eye | G |
| The beautiful Love has slain | H |
| There is nought to gain or keep | A |
| Thereafter and all is vain | H |
| Should we wait to see Love die | G |
| - | |
| Sweetheart of the joys men reap | A |
| We have reaped tis time to rest | I |
| Why should we wake but to weep | A |
| Sleep and forgetting is best | I |
| These are the flowers of sleep | A |
