The Dreamer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDDCEE| Temples he built and palaces of air | A |
| And with the artist's parent pride aglow | B |
| His fancy saw his vague ideals grow | B |
| Into creations marvellously fair | A |
| - | |
| He set his foot upon Fame's nether stair | A |
| But ah his dream it had entranced him so | B |
| He could not move He could no farther go | B |
| But paused in joy that he was even there | A |
| - | |
| He did not wake until one day there gleamed | C |
| Thro' his dark consciousness a light that racked | D |
| His being till he rose alert to act | D |
| But lo what he had dreamed the while he dreamed | C |
| Another wedding action unto thought | E |
| Into the living pulsing world had brought | E |
