Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEB FGFG CHCH BIBI JGJG| While on my lonely couch I lie | A |
| I seldom feel myself alone | B |
| For fancy fills my dreaming eye | A |
| With scenes and pleasures of its own | B |
| Then I may cherish at my breast | C |
| An infant's form beloved and fair | D |
| May smile and soothe it into rest | C |
| With all a Mother's fondest care | D |
| - | |
| How sweet to feel its helpless form | E |
| Depending thus on me alone | B |
| And while I hold it safe and warm | E |
| What bliss to think it is my own | B |
| - | |
| And glances then may meet my eyes | F |
| That daylight never showed to me | G |
| What raptures in my bosom rise | F |
| Those earnest looks of love to see | G |
| - | |
| To feel my hand so kindly prest | C |
| To know myself beloved at last | H |
| To think my heart has found a rest | C |
| My life of solitude is past | H |
| - | |
| But then to wake and find it flown | B |
| The dream of happiness destroyed | I |
| To find myself unloved alone | B |
| What tongue can speak the dreary void | I |
| - | |
| A heart whence warm affections flow | J |
| Creator thou hast given to me | G |
| And am I only thus to know | J |
| How sweet the joys of love would be | G |
