Disillusionment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHIJK| I used to dream long long ago | A |
| That the clouds were marvelous white elephants | B |
| Journeying in droves to a far off sacred city | C |
| That always made the sunset with the reflection of its altar fires | D |
| - | |
| But now I am grown old and wise | E |
| And disillusioned | F |
| And I know that the clouds are toy animals for children | G |
| And are made of cotton batting | H |
| Or at best are woven from a sort of mercerized wool | I |
| And are always cut out | J |
| With patterns of tissue paper | K |
