Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| SURELY I heard a voice surely my name | A |
| Was breathed in tones familiar to my heart | B |
| I listened and the low wind stealing came | A |
| In darkness and in silence to depart | B |
| - | |
| Surely I saw a form a proud bright form | C |
| Standing beside my couch I raised mine eyes | D |
| 'Twas but a dim cloud herald of a storm | C |
| That floated through the grey and twilight skies | D |
| - | |
| Surely the brightness of the summer hour | E |
| Hath suddenly burst upon the circling gloom | F |
| I dream 'twas but the perfume of a flower | E |
| Which the breeze wafted through the silent room | F |
| - | |
| Surely a hand clasped mine with greetings fond | G |
| A name is murmured by my lips with pain | H |
| Woe for that sound woe for love's broken bond | G |
| I start I wake I am alone again | I |
