The Dream Of Aengus Og Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH JKJK ALAL HMHN NHOH| When the rose of Morn through the Dawn was breaking | A |
| And white on the hearth was last night's flame | B |
| Thither to me 'twixt sleeping and waking | A |
| Singing out of the mists she came | B |
| - | |
| And grey as the mists on the spectre meadows | C |
| Were the eyes that on my eyes she laid | D |
| And her hair's red splendor through the shadows | C |
| Like to the marsh fire gleamed and played | D |
| - | |
| And she sang of the wondrous far off places | E |
| That a man may only see in dreams | F |
| The death still odorous starlit spaces | E |
| Where Time is lost and no life gleams | F |
| - | |
| And there till the day had its crest uplifted | G |
| She stood with her still face bent on me | H |
| Then forth with the Dawn departing drifted | I |
| Light as a foam fleck on the sea | H |
| - | |
| And now my heart is the heart of a swallow | J |
| That here no solace of rest may find | K |
| Forevermore I follow and follow | J |
| Her white feet glancing down the wind | K |
| - | |
| And forevermore in my ears are ringing | A |
| Oh red lips yet shall I kiss you dumb | L |
| Twain sole words of that May morn's singing | A |
| Calling to me Hither and Come | L |
| - | |
| From flower bright fields to the wild lake sedges | H |
| Crying my steps when the Day has gone | M |
| Till dim and small down the Night's pale edges | H |
| The stars have fluttered one by one | N |
| - | |
| And light as the thought of a love forgotten | N |
| The hours skim past while before me flies | H |
| That face of the Sun and Mist begotten | O |
| Its singing lips and death cold eyes | H |
