Like Mary, I find the on/121 rhyme pair to be a bit weak to end on. If it's a perfect rhyme, then it's an identity, but if it's not perfect (how it sounds to me), it's the first a-rhyme slant in the poem. Coming on the punchline, I would hope for a perfect rhyme. I can't think of anything good, but maybe something like "the tranquil bed/ in which our dreams are spun"?
