Only In Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI AJAJ| How strange are dreams Last night I dreamed about you | A |
| All that old bitterness of loss and pain | B |
| The desolation of my lot without you | A |
| The keen regret all all came back again | C |
| - | |
| Again I faced that terrible old sorrow | D |
| Too numb to weep too cowardly to pray | E |
| Again the blankness of a dread to morrow | D |
| Filled me with sickly terror and dismay | E |
| - | |
| I woke in tears but lo a moment after | F |
| When every vestige of my dream was fled | G |
| I broke the silence of my room with laughter | F |
| To think sleep had revived a thing so dead | G |
| - | |
| Thank God that only in the realms of fancy | H |
| Can that old sorrow wake again to strife | I |
| No fate is strong enough no necromancy | H |
| To make it stir one pulse of my calm life | I |
| - | |
| My heart is light my lot is blest without you | A |
| Our early sorrows are not what they seem | J |
| Now in my slumber if I dream about you | A |
| I wake to laugh at such an idle dream | J |
