A Dream Shape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD CCEF GGDD HHII JJJJ KKLL| With moon white hearts that held a gleam | A |
| I gathered wild flowers in a dream | A |
| And shaped a woman whose sweet blood | B |
| Was odour of the wildwood bud | B |
| - | |
| From dew the starlight arrowed through | C |
| I wrought a woman's eyes of blue | C |
| The lids that on her eyeballs lay | D |
| Were rose pale petals of the May | D |
| - | |
| Out of a rosebud's veins I drew | C |
| The flagrant crimson beating through | C |
| The languid lips of her whose kiss | E |
| Was as a poppy's drowsiness | F |
| - | |
| Out of the moonlight and the air | G |
| I wrought the glory of her hair | G |
| That o'er her eyes' blue heaven lay | D |
| Like some gold cloud o'er dawn of day | D |
| - | |
| I took the music of the breeze | H |
| And water whispering in the trees | H |
| And shaped the soul that breathed below | I |
| A woman's blossom breasts of snow | I |
| - | |
| A shadow's shadow in the glass | J |
| Of sleep my spirit saw her pass | J |
| And thinking of it now meseems | J |
| We only live within our dreams | J |
| - | |
| For in that time she was to me | K |
| More real than our reality | K |
| More real than Earth more real than I | L |
| The unreal things that pass and die | L |
