A Morning Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJKLMN OPQ RGSTNU

This morning I dreamed I followedA
Widely spaced bells ringing in the windB
And climbed through mists to rosy cloudsC
I realized my destined affinityD
With An Ch'i sheng the ancient sageE
I met unexpectedly O Lu huaF
The heavenly maidenG
-
Together we saw lotus roots as big as boatsH
Together we ate jujubes as huge as melonsI
We were the guests of those on swaying lotus seatsJ
They spoke in splendid languageK
Full of subtle meaningsL
The argued with sharp words over paradoxesM
We drank tea brewed on living fireN
-
Although this might not help the Emperor to governO
It is endless happinessP
The life of men could be like thisQ
-
Why did I have to return to my former homeR
Wake up dress sit in meditationG
Cover my ears to shut out the disgusting racketS
My heart knows I can never see my dream come trueT
At least I can rememberN
That world and sighU
