Poet Analysis

First Line: COME, SLEEP! BUT MIND YE! IF YOU COME WITHOUT
Last Line: FOR ALL YOUR POPPY-HEADS AND ALL YOUR DOWN.

Come, Sleep! but mind ye! if you come without
The little girl that struck me at the rout,
By Jove! I would not give you half-a-crown
For all your poppy-heads and all your down.
