The Dream Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHHIIJJ KKLLMMHHNNHH| I LIKE the dream days best of all | A |
| The hollyhocks against the wall | A |
| The rambler roses blushing red | B |
| The blue skies bending overhead | B |
| With just enough of summer breeze | C |
| To whisper in the leafy trees | C |
| When lazily the plow boys plod | D |
| And lazily the blossoms nod | D |
| And everything about me seems | E |
| Wrapt up somehow in pleasant dreams | E |
| - | |
| I like to lie full length and flat | F |
| And shade my eyes with my old hat | F |
| Building out yonder in the skies | G |
| Air castles grand whose towers rise | G |
| Higher than summer swallows fly | H |
| The castles of sweet by and by | H |
| Forgetting care and shirking toil | I |
| Forgetting lust for fame and spoil | I |
| Just dreaming dreams that won't come true | J |
| But living as the flowers do | J |
| - | |
| I like the dream days best for then | K |
| The world 's in tune with lazy men | K |
| The very flowers droop and sway | L |
| In such a restful lazy way | L |
| As though they too would like to be | M |
| Stretched out beneath this tree with me | M |
| And fleecy snow white clouds float by | H |
| As though no part of earth or sky | H |
| And far off seem the busy marts | N |
| Where gather shrewd and sordid hearts | N |
| Just roses hollyhocks and I | H |
| Dreaming while Father Time goes by | H |
