Between Sleep And Waking Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HFHF IBIB BFB

SOFTLY in a dream I heardA
Ere the day was breakingB
Softly call a cuckoo birdA
Between sleep and wakingB
-
Calling through the rippling rainC
And red orchard blossomD
Calling up old love againE
Buried in my bosomD
-
Calling till he brought you tooF
From some magic regionG
And the whole spring followed youF
Birds on birds in legionG
-
Youth was in your beaming glanceH
Love a rainbow round youF
Blushing trees began to danceH
Wreaths of roses crowned youF
-
And I called your name and wokeI
To the cuckoo's callingB
And you waned in waning smokeI
As the rain was fallingB
-
Had the cuckoo called 'Adieu '-
Ere the day was breakingB
All the old wounds bled anewF
Between sleep and wakingB
