Mon Reve Familier [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ADBA EEF GHGOft do I dream this strange and penetrating dream | A |
An unknown woman whom I love who loves me well | B |
Who does not every time quite change nor yet quite dwell | B |
The same and loves me well and knows me as I am | C |
- | |
For she knows me My heart clear as a crystal beam | A |
To her alone ceases to be inscrutable | D |
To her alone and she alone knows to dispel | B |
My grief cooling my brow with her tears' gentle stream | A |
- | |
Is she of favor dark or fair I do not know | E |
Her name All I remember is that it doth flow | E |
Softly as do the names of them we loved and lost | F |
- | |
Her eyes are like the statues' mild and grave and wide | G |
And for her voice she has as if it were the ghost | H |
Of other voices well loved voices that have died | G |
