A Dream Lies Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEE| A dream lies dead here May you softly go | A |
| Before this place and turn away your eyes | B |
| Nor seek to know the look of that which dies | B |
| Importuning Life for life Walk not in woe | A |
| But for a little let your step be slow | A |
| And of your mercy be not sweetly wise | B |
| With words of hope and Spring and tenderer skies | B |
| A dream lies dead and this all mourners know | A |
| - | |
| Whenever one drifted petal leaves the tree | C |
| Though white of bloom as it had been before | D |
| And proudly waitful of fecundity | C |
| One little loveliness can be no more | D |
| And so must Beauty bow her imperfect head | E |
| Because a dream has joined the wistful dead | E |
