Analysis of Hypnos Leaving



Into the blue
Faint drift he moves
On ether shoes,
Intent to doze

Along the curve
Of Terra’s nerves
To selfless serve,
His heft impose

Till, in a dream
While scampering
She finds the thing:
Her waking rose

That sweeps the lawn
With blushing dawn,
When Hypnos' song's
Soft coda goes
