Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACD EFGEHIJ| OH miserable power | A |
| To dreams allow'd to raise the guilty past | B |
| And back awhile the illumined spirit to cast | B |
| On its youth's twilight hour | A |
| In mockery guiling it to act again | C |
| The revel or the scoff in Satan's frantic train | D |
| - | |
| Nay hush thee angry heart | E |
| An Angel's grief ill fits a penitent | F |
| Welcome the thorn it is divinely sent | G |
| And with its wholesome smart | E |
| Shall pierce thee in thy virtue's palmy home | H |
| And warn thee what thou art and whence thy | I |
| wealth has come | J |
