Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HFHF IBIB BFBSOFTLY in a dream I heard | A |
Ere the day was breaking | B |
Softly call a cuckoo bird | A |
Between sleep and waking | B |
- | |
Calling through the rippling rain | C |
And red orchard blossom | D |
Calling up old love again | E |
Buried in my bosom | D |
- | |
Calling till he brought you too | F |
From some magic region | G |
And the whole spring followed you | F |
Birds on birds in legion | G |
- | |
Youth was in your beaming glance | H |
Love a rainbow round you | F |
Blushing trees began to dance | H |
Wreaths of roses crowned you | F |

And I called your name and woke | I |
To the cuckoo's calling | B |
And you waned in waning smoke | I |
As the rain was falling | B |
- | |
Had the cuckoo called 'Adieu ' | - |
Ere the day was breaking | B |
All the old wounds bled anew | F |
Between sleep and waking | B |
