The Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIJKLMNOPQP| In noon's heat in a dale of Dagestan | A |
| With lead inside my breast stirless I lay | B |
| The deep wound still smoked on my blood | C |
| Kept trickling drop by drop away | B |
| On the dale's sand alone I lay The cliffs | D |
| Crowded around in ledges steep | E |
| And the sun scorched their tawny tops | F |
| And scorched me but I slept death's sleep | E |
| And in a dream I saw an evening feast | G |
| That in my native land with bright lights shone | H |
| Among young women crowned with flowers | I |
| A merry talk concerning me went on | J |
| But in the merry talk not joining | K |
| One of them sat there lost in thought | L |
| And in a melancholy dream | M |
| Her young soul was immersed God knows by what | N |
| And of a dale in Dagestan she dreamt | O |
| In that dale lay the corpse of one she knew | P |
| Within his breast a smoking wound showed black | Q |
| And blood ran in a stream that colder grew | P |
