The Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DCDC EFEF GDDG| O God in the dream the terrible horse began | A |
| To paw at the air and make for me with his blows | B |
| Fear kept for thirty five years poured through his mane | C |
| And retribution equally old or nearly breathed through his nose | B |
| - | |
| Coward complete I lay and wept on the ground | D |
| When some strong creature appeared and leapt for the rein | C |
| Another woman as I lay half in a swound | D |
| Leapt in the air and clutched at the leather and chain | C |
| - | |
| Give him she said something of yours as a charm | E |
| Throw him she said some poor thing you alone claim | F |
| No no I cried he hates me he is out for harm | E |
| And whether I yield or not it is all the same | F |
| - | |
| But like a lion in a legend when I flung the glove | G |
| Pulled from my sweating my cold right hand | D |
| The terrible beast that no one may understand | D |
| Came to my side and put down his head in love | G |
