Dreams Old And Nascent - Old Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBC DEDE FGFH IIIIJBJBHH

I have opened the window to warm my hands on the sillA
Where the sunlight soaks in the stone the afternoonB
Is full of dreams my love the boys are all stillA
In a wistful dream of Lorna DooneB
-
The clink of the shunting engines is sharp and fineB
Like savage music striking far off and thereC
On the great uplifted blue palace lights stir and shineB
Where the glass is domed in the blue soft airC
-
There lies the world my darling full of wonder and wistfulness and strangeD
Recognition and greetings of half acquaint things as I greet the cloudE
Of blue palace aloft there among misty indefinite dreams that rangeD
At the back of my life's horizon where the dreamings of past lives crowdE
-
Over the nearness of Norwood Hill through the mellow veilF
Of the afternoon glows to me the old romance of David and DoraG
With the old sweet soothing tears and laughter that shakes the sailF
Of the ship of the soul over seas where dreamed dreams lure the unoceaned explorerH
-
All the bygone hush d yearsI
Streaming back where the mist distilsI
Into forgetfulness soft sailing waters where fearsI
No longer shake where the silk sail fillsI
With an unfelt breeze that ebbs over the seas where the stormJ
Of living has passed on and onB
Through the coloured iridescence that swims in the warmJ
Wake of the tumult now spent and goneB
Drifts my boat wistfully lapsing afterH
The mists of vanishing tears and the echo of laughterH
