The Garden Of Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAC DEEDE FGGFH I JKK LMML| One day when summer suns were kind | A |
| I walked within my soul's domain | B |
| Where inner summer held its reign | B |
| And heard a voice like some small wind | A |
| That wakes a breath then sleeps again | C |
| - | |
| It said 'I come as messenger | D |
| From garths of dream whose flowers blow | E |
| Where clouds go by and waters flow | E |
| Secret from thee and breezes stir | D |
| Whose birth or death thou dost not know | E |
| - | |
| If thou wouldst have their faery blooms | F |
| Send forth a thought to pluck them there | G |
| Most speedily for being more fair | G |
| Than earthly flow'rs and with perfumes | F |
| No sun conceived blossoms hear | H |
| - | |
| Fleeter than these their hues are lost | I |
| Their fragrance as a spirit fled ' | - |
| Then like a wind the voice was dead | J |
| In other flow'rs of dream engrossed | K |
| I left those dreams unharvested | K |
| - | |
| Until bethinking me of them | L |
| I sent a thought in bloomless hours | M |
| Returning soon it said 'The flow'rs | M |
| Are vanished from each withered stem | L |
| A harvest of the winds and show'rs ' | - |
