Sonnet V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDCDD| Dreamt I today the dream of yesternight | A |
| Sleep ever feigning one evolving theme | B |
| Of my two lives which should I call the dream | B |
| Which action vanity Which vision sight | A |
| Some greater waking must pronounce aright | A |
| If aught abides still of the things that seem | B |
| And with both currents swell the flooded stream | B |
| Into an ocean infinite of light | A |
| - | |
| Even such a dream I dream and know full well | C |
| My waking passes like a midnight spell | C |
| But know not if my dreaming could break through | D |
| Into the deeps of heaven and of hell | C |
| I know but this of all I would I knew | D |
| Truth is a dream unless my dream is true | D |
