A Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBB DEDEE FCFGA HIHJJ KEKEE LMLMM NONOO PQPQQ RSTK| Thou who hast follow'd far with eyes of love | A |
| The shy and virgin sights of Spring to day | B |
| Sad soul what dost thou in this happy grove | C |
| Hast thou no pipe to touch no strain to play | B |
| Where Nature smiles so fair and seems to ask a lay | B |
| - | |
| Ah she needs none she is too beautiful | D |
| How should I sing her for my heart would tire | E |
| Seeking a lovelier verse each time to cull | D |
| In striving still to pitch my music higher | E |
| Lovelier than any muse is she who gives the fire | E |
| - | |
| No impulse I beseech my strains are vile | F |
| To escape thee Nature restless here I rove | C |
| Look not so sweet on me avert thy smile | F |
| O cease at length this fever'd breast to move | G |
| I have loved thee in vain I cannot speak my love | A |
| - | |
| Here sense with apathy seems gently wed | H |
| The gloom is starr'd with flowers the unseen trees | I |
| Spread thick and softly real above my head | H |
| And the far birds add music to the peace | J |
| In this dark place of sleep where whispers never cease | J |
| - | |
| Hush then my pipe vain is thy passion here | K |
| Vain is the burning bosom of desire | E |
| Forever hush'd let me this silence hear | K |
| As a sad Muse in the melodious choir | E |
| Hushes her voice to catch the happier voices by her | E |
| - | |
| Deep shaded will I lie and deeper yet | L |
| In night where not a leaf its neighbour knows | M |
| Forget the shining of the stars forget | L |
| The vernal visitation of the rose | M |
| And far from all delights prepare my heart's repose | M |
| - | |
| Strive how I may I cannot slumber so | N |
| Still burns that sleepless beauty on the mind | O |
| Still insupportable those visions glow | N |
| And hark my spirit's aspirations find | O |
| An answer in the leaves a warning on the wind | O |
| - | |
| 'O crave not silence thou too soon too sure | P |
| Shall Autumn come and through these branches weep | Q |
| Soon birds shall cease and flowers no more endure | P |
| And thou beneath the mould unwilling creep | Q |
| And silent soon shalt be in that eternal sleep | Q |
| - | |
| 'Green still it is where that fair goddess strays | R |
| Then follow till around thee all be sere | S |
| Lose not a vision of her passing face | T |
| Nor miss the sound of her soft robes that here | K |
| Sweep over the wet leaves of the fast falling year ' | - |
