Feri's Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE F F GGG| I Had a little dog and my dog was very small | A |
| He licked me in the face and he answered to my call | A |
| Of all the treasures that were mine I loved him most of all | A |
| - | |
| His nose was fresh as morning dew and blacker than the night | B |
| I thought that it could even snuff the shadows and the light | B |
| And his tail he held bravely like a banner in a fight | B |
| - | |
| His body covered thick with hair was very good to smell | C |
| His little stomach underneath was pink as any shell | C |
| And I loved him and honoured him more than words can tell | C |
| - | |
| We ran out in the morning both of us to play | D |
| Up and down across the fields for all the sunny day | D |
| But he ran so swiftly he ran right away | D |
| - | |
| I looked for him I called for him entreatingly Alas | E |
| The dandelions could not speak though they had seen him pass | E |
| And nowhere was his waving tail among the waving grass | E |
| - | |
| The sun sank low I ran I prayed ' If God has not the power | F |
| To find him let me die I cannot bear another hour ' | - |
| When suddenly I came upon a great yellow flower | F |
| - | |
| And all among its petals such was Heaven's grace | G |
| In that golden hour in that golden place | G |
| All among its petals was his hairy face | G |
