To Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDD| FOND words have oft been spoken to thee Sleep | A |
| And thou hast had thy store of tenderest names | B |
| The very sweetest Fancy culls or frames | B |
| When thankfulness of heart is strong and deep | A |
| Dear Bosom child we call thee that dost steep | A |
| In rich reward all suffering Balm that tames | B |
| All anguish Saint that evil thoughts and aims | B |
| Takest away and into souls dost creep | A |
| Like to a breeze from heaven Shall I alone | C |
| I surely not a man ungently made | D |
| Call thee worst Tyrant by which Flesh is crost | D |
| Perverse self willed to own and to disown | C |
| Mere slave of them who never for thee prayed | D |
| Still last to come where thou art wanted most | D |
