Rhyme Scheme: AABACDED FGHGIJKJ LMNMOPQP RASAI love to sit alone and dream | A |
And dream and dream | A |
In fancy's boat to softly glide | B |
Along some stream | A |
Where fairy palaces of gold | C |
And crystal bright | D |
Stand all along the glistening shore | E |
A wondrous sight | D |
- | |
My craft is built of ivory | F |
With silver oars | G |
The sails are spun of golden threads | H |
And priceless stores | G |
Of precious gems adorn its prow | I |
And 'round its mast | J |
An hundred silken cords are set | K |
To hold it fast | J |
- | |
My galley slaves are sprightly elves | L |
Who as they row | M |
And as their shining oars they swing | N |
Them to and fro | M |
Keep time to music wafted on | O |
The scented air | P |
Made by the mermaids as they comb | Q |
Their golden hair | P |
- | |
And I the while lie idly back | R |
And dream and dream | A |
And let them row me where they will | S |
Adown the stream | A |
