The Mime Of Sleep Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DEDFFE| My dreams are turned to some disordered mime | A |
| A plot that pandemonian shadows feign | B |
| Ravels half told and dead loves live again | C |
| In settings of distorted place and time | A |
| A broken drama puerile or sublime | A |
| Whose riddled meaning I must guess in vain | B |
| A masque whose grey grotesques of mirth and pain | B |
| Move randomly through an occulted clime | A |
| - | |
| But though they pass and slumber blot them all | D |
| Your beauty's burning shade more slowly dims | E |
| Where dancing like Salome you let fall | D |
| In splendid sequence under a sad sky | F |
| The seven veils of fantasy that I | F |
| Have wound about your young delightful limbs | E |
