The Dead Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBB CBDCBD| I dreamed of him last night I saw his face | A |
| All radiant and unshadowed of distress | B |
| And as of old in music measureless | B |
| I heard his golden voice and marked him trace | B |
| Under the common thing the hidden grace | B |
| And conjure wonder out of emptiness | B |
| Till mean things put on beauty like a dress | B |
| And all the world was an enchanted place | B |
| - | |
| And then methought outside a fast locked gate | C |
| I mourned the loss of unrecorded words | B |
| Forgotten tales and mysteries half said | D |
| Wonders that might have been articulate | C |
| And voiceless thoughts like murdered singing birds | B |
| And so I woke and knew that he was dead | D |
