A Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVW| Behold an endless evening over land | A |
| That lapped in vast vales rises up afar | B |
| Into the frozen mountains evening brimmed | C |
| With silence so miraculously clear | D |
| That crevices in peaks of distant stone | E |
| And rust red boughs of cedars at the foot | F |
| Of those remote and voiceless waterfalls | G |
| Which down the black steeps of lone gorges plunge | H |
| Are shaped distinct unto the wondering eye | I |
| And the mind seeing notes not how 'tis fair | J |
| But throned in languor has already summ'd | K |
| All the vain journey thither Not a sound | L |
| Near by no motion lifts a single leaf | M |
| Nor stirs one cold stalk of the sappy spurge | N |
| And powdery hemlock nor 'mid clustered reeds | O |
| The peeping heads of certain dim blue flowers | P |
| Mirrored in water idle as themselves | Q |
| And she that sits upon the bank whose head | R |
| Droops toward her shoulder whose full lips are closed | S |
| And whose wide eyes seem vacant yet contain | T |
| Profound remembrance sunken like a wreck | U |
| Beneath gray seas is she of this entranced | V |
| And glimmering land the sole inhabitant | W |
