A Nightmare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCDC EEFE| I dreamed that I was dead The years went by | A |
| The world forgot that such a man as I | A |
| Had ever lived and written other names | B |
| Were hailed with homage in their turn to die | A |
| - | |
| Out of my grave a giant beech upgrew | C |
| Its roots transpierced my body through and through | C |
| My substance fed its growth From many lands | D |
| Men came in troops that giant tree to view | C |
| - | |
| 'T was sacred to my memory and fame | E |
| My monument But Allen Forman came | E |
| Filled with the fervor of a new untruth | F |
| And carved upon the trunk his odious name | E |
