A Soldier's Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCCDDEFFE GGHCCIJJDHHD CCKDDKHHLDDL| Last night as I toasted | A |
| My wet feet and roasted | B |
| A small bit of beef by a similar blaze | C |
| While nought but the wheezings | C |
| The snorings and sneezings | C |
| Of comrades grouping in Dreamland's haze | C |
| Disturbed the fine vision | D |
| The picture Elysian | D |
| That Fancy's weird wand conjured up to my thought | E |
| As she stood like a spooke | F |
| In a garb of blue smoke | F |
| And amid the hot embers her wonders she wrought | E |
| - | |
| Adown a highway | G |
| We were marching so gay | G |
| An army with banners bedecked o'er and o'er | H |
| With the brightest garlands | C |
| Wove by fairest of hands | C |
| While a flaming bouquet stuck in each musket bore | I |
| Each triumphal arch | J |
| It met on the march | J |
| Was blazoned with 'Peace' 'Welcome home each loved one' | D |
| While maid wife and mother | H |
| Would with rapture discover | H |
| And rush out to meet lover husband and son | D |
| - | |
| I forgot all my sore toes | C |
| Nay all of my woes | C |
| As I sprang to the threshold and clasped her dear waist | K |
| And every campaign | D |
| I'd gone over again | D |
| To get from those ripe lips another such taste | K |
| But as I flew to her | H |
| I dropped my fine skewer | H |
| And with it my supper I mastered my grief | L |
| As the vanishing vision | D |
| of joy's Elysian | D |
| But I couldn't get over the loss of the beef | L |
