Dream Song (i) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCC AADDEECC| Long years ago within a distant clime | A |
| Ere Love had touched me with his wand sublime | A |
| I dreamed of one to make my life's calm May | A |
| The panting passion of a summer's day | A |
| And ever since in almost sad suspense | B |
| I have been waiting with a soul intense | B |
| To greet and take unto myself the beams | C |
| Of her my star the lady of my dreams | C |
| - | |
| O Love still longed and looked for come to me | A |
| Be thy far home by mountain vale or sea | A |
| My yearning heart may never find its rest | D |
| Until thou liest rapt upon my breast | D |
| The wind may bring its perfume from the south | E |
| Is it so sweet as breath from my love's mouth | E |
| Oh naught that surely is and naught that seems | C |
| May turn me from the lady of my dreams | C |
