A Dream Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEEDFFGGDDHHII JJ| I dreamed of a song I heard it sung | A |
| In the ear of my soul its strange notes rung | A |
| What were its words I could not tell | B |
| Only the voice I heard right well | B |
| For its tones unearthly my spirit bound | C |
| In a calm delirium of mystic sound | C |
| Held me floating alone and high | D |
| Placeless and silent drinking my fill | E |
| Of dews that from cloudless skies distil | E |
| On desert places that thirst and sigh | D |
| 'Twas a woman's voice deep calling to deep | F |
| Rousing old echoes that all day sleep | F |
| In cavern and solitude each apart | G |
| Here and there in the waiting heart | G |
| A voice with a wild melodious cry | D |
| Reaching and longing afar and high | D |
| Sorrowful triumph and hopeful strife | H |
| Gainful death and new born life | H |
| Thrilled in each note of the prophet song | I |
| In my heart it said O Lord how long | I |
| Shall we groan and travail and faint and pray | J |
| Ere thy lovely kingdom bring the day | J |
