The Opal Dream Cave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDDFGHIJF| In an opal dream cave I found a fairy | A |
| Her wings were frailer than flower petals | B |
| Frailer far than snowflakes | C |
| She was not frightened but poised on my finger | D |
| Then delicately walked into my hand | E |
| I shut the two palms of my hands together | D |
| And held her prisoner | D |
| I carried her out of the opal cave | F |
| Then opened my hands | G |
| First she became thistledown | H |
| Then a mote in a sunbeam | I |
| Then nothing at all | J |
| Empty now is my opal dream cave | F |
