Nightmare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| As though a thousand vampires from the day | A |
| Fleeing unseen oppressed that nightly deep | B |
| The straitening and darkened skies of sleep | B |
| Closed on the dreamland dale in which I lay | A |
| - | |
| Eternal tensions numbed the wings of time | C |
| While through unending narrow ways I sought | D |
| Awakening up precipitous gloom I thought | D |
| To reach the dawn far pinnacled sublime | C |
| - | |
| Rejected at the closen gates of light | E |
| I turned and down new dreams and shadows fled | F |
| Where beetling shapes of veiled colossal dread | F |
| With Gothic wings enormous arched the night | E |
