A Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDCThat was a curious dream I thought the three | A |
Great planets that are drawing near the sun | B |
With such unerring certainty begun | B |
To talk together in a mighty glee | A |
They spoke of vast convulsions which would be | A |
Throughout the solar system the rare fun | B |
Of watching haughty stars drop one by one | B |
And vanish in a seething vapour sea | A |
- | |
I thought I heard them comment on the earth | C |
That small dark object doomed beyond a doubt | D |
They wondered if live creatures moved about | D |
Its tiny surface deeming it of worth | C |
And then they laughed 'twas such a singing shout | D |
That I awoke and joined too in their mirth | C |
