A Song In A Dream. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDCEEFGFGHHIIJJ| I dreamed of a song I heard it sung | A |
| In the ear that sleeps not its music rung | A |
| And the tones were upheld by harmonies deep | B |
| Where the spirit floated yea soared on their sweep | B |
| With each wild unearthly word and tone | C |
| Upward it knew not whither bound | D |
| In a calm delirium of mystic sound | D |
| Up where the Genius of Thought alone | C |
| Loveth in silence to drink his fill | E |
| Of dews that from unknown clouds distil | E |
| A woman's voice the deep echoes awoke | F |
| In the caverns and solitudes of my soul | G |
| But such a voice had never broke | F |
| Through the sea of sounds that about us roll | G |
| Choking the ear in the daylight strife | H |
| There was sorrow and triumph and death and life | H |
| In each chord note of that prophet song | I |
| Blended in one harmonious throng | I |
| Such a chant ere my voice has fled from death | J |
| Be it mine to mould of the parting breath | J |
