A Mid-day Dreamer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDED FGHGIJKJ LMNMOPQP RASA| I 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 |
