Dreaming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ KIKI| The moan of a wintry soul | A |
| Melted into a summer song | B |
| And the words like the wavelet's roll | A |
| Moved murmuringly along | B |
| - | |
| And the song flowed far and away | C |
| Like the voice of a half sleeping rill | D |
| Each wave of it lit by a ray | C |
| But the sound was so soft and so still | D |
| - | |
| And the tone was so gentle and low | E |
| None heard the song till it had passed | F |
| Till the echo that followed its flow | E |
| Came dreamingly back from the past | F |
| - | |
| 'Twas too late a song never returns | G |
| That passes our pathway unheard | H |
| As dust lying dreaming in urns | G |
| Is the song lying dead in a word | H |
| - | |
| For the birds of the skies have a nest | I |
| And the winds have a home where they sleep | J |
| And songs like our souls need a rest | I |
| Where they murmur the while we may weep | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| But songs like the birds o'er the foam | K |
| Where the storm wind is beating their breast | I |
| Fly shoreward and oft find a home | K |
| In the shelter of words where they rest | I |
