Dreamer, Say Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEFGFG HIHIJKJK| Dreamer say will you dream for me | A |
| A wild sweet dream of a foreign land | B |
| Whose border sips of a foaming sea | A |
| With lips of coral and silver sand | B |
| Where warm winds loll on the shady deeps | A |
| Or lave themselves in the tearful mist | C |
| The great wild wave of the breaker weeps | A |
| O'er crags of opal and amethyst | C |
| - | |
| Dreamer say will you dream a dream | D |
| Of tropic shades in the lands of shine | E |
| Where the lily leans o'er an amber stream | D |
| That flows like a rill of wasted wine | E |
| Where the palm trees lifting their shields of green | F |
| Parry the shafts of the Indian sun | G |
| Whose splintering vengeance falls between | F |
| The reeds below where the waters run | G |
| - | |
| Dreamer say will you dream of love | H |
| That lives in a land of sweet perfume | I |
| Where the stars drip down from the skies above | H |
| In molten spatters of bud and bloom | I |
| Where never the weary eyes are wet | J |
| And never a sob in the balmy air | K |
| And only the laugh of the paroquet | J |
| Breaks the sleep of the silence there | K |
