Lullaby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDDA AEEFGHA AEEI JA

Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
The singing mouse sings plaintivelyB
The sweet night bird in the chesnut treeB
They sing together bird and mouseC
In starlight in darkness lonely sweetD
The wild notes and the faint notes meetD
Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
-
Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
Amid the lilies floats the mothE
The mole along his galleries goethE
In the dark earth the summer moonF
Looks like a shepherd through the paneG
Seeking his feeble lamb againH
Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
-
Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
Time comes to keep night watch with theeE
Nodding with roses and the seaE
Saith 'Peace Peace ' amid his foamI
White as thy night clothes 'O be still '-
The wind cries up the whisp'ring hillJ
Sleep sleep lovely white soulA
