The Deepest Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| The deepest dream is of mad governors | A |
| Down down we feel it till the very crust | B |
| Of the world cracks and where there was no dust | B |
| Atoms of ruin rise Confusion stirs | A |
| And fear and all our thoughts dark scavengers | A |
| Feed on the center's refuse Hope is thrust | B |
| Like wind away and love sinks into lust | B |
| For merest safety meanest of levelers | A |
| - | |
| And then we wake Or do we Sleep endures | C |
| More than the morning can when shadows lie | D |
| Sharper than mountains and the cleft is real | E |
| Between us and our kings What sun assures | C |
| Our courage and what evening by and by | D |
| Descends to rest us and perhaps to heal | E |
