Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBDBBDEEAFFGGHAI IJKKJLL| Did I dream of a song or sing in a dream | A |
| Why ask when the night only knoweth | B |
| The night and the angel of sleep | C |
| But ever since then a music deep | C |
| Like a stream thro' a shadow land floweth | B |
| Under each thought of my spirit that groweth | B |
| Into the blossom and bloom of speech | D |
| Under each fancy that cometh and goeth | B |
| Wayward as waves when evening breeze bloweth | B |
| Out of the sunset and into the beach | D |
| And is it a wonder I wept to day | E |
| For I mused and thought but I cannot say | E |
| If I dreamed of a song or sang in a dream | A |
| In the silence of sleep and the noon of night | F |
| And now even now 'neath the words I write | F |
| The flush of the dream or the flow of the song | G |
| I cannot tell which moves strangely along | G |
| But why write more I am puzzled sore | H |
| Did I dream of a song or sing in a dream | A |
| Ah hush heart hush 'tis of no avail | I |
| The words of earth are a darksome veil | I |
| The poet weaves it with artful grace | J |
| Lifts it off from his thoughts at times | K |
| Lets it rustle along his rhymes | K |
| But gathers it close covering the face | J |
| Of ev'ry thought that must not part | L |
| From out the keeping of his heart | L |
