Dream Anguish Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBABABA CDECFE| My thought of thee is tortured in my sleep | A |
| Sometimes thou art near beside me but a cloud | B |
| Doth grudge me thy pale face and rise to creep | A |
| Slowly about thee to lap thee in a shroud | B |
| And I as standing by my dead to weep | A |
| Desirous cannot weep nor cry aloud | B |
| Or we must face the clamouring of a crowd | B |
| Hissing our shame and I who ought to keep | A |
| Thine honour safe and my betrayed heart proud | B |
| Knowing thee true must watch a chill doubt leap | A |
| The tired faith of thee and thy head bow'd | B |
| Nor budge while the gross world holdeth thee cheap | A |
| - | |
| Or there are frost bound meetings and reproach | C |
| At parting furtive snatches full of fear | D |
| Love grown a pain we bleed to kiss and kiss | E |
| Because we bleed for love the time doth broach | C |
| Shame and shame teareth at us till we tear | F |
| Our hearts to shreds yet wilder love for this | E |
