Mon Reve Familier [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ADBA EEF GHG| Oft 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 |
