A Dream Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEEDFFGGDDHHII JJI 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 |
