The Golden Dream. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIK| In midnight dreams the Wizard came | A |
| And beckoned me away | B |
| With tempting hopes of wealth and fame | A |
| He cheered my lonely way | B |
| He led me o'er a dusky heath | C |
| And there a river swept | D |
| Whose gay and glassy tide beneath | C |
| Uncounted treasure slept | D |
| The wooing ripples lightly dashed | E |
| Around the cherished store | F |
| And circling eddies brightly flashed | E |
| Above the yellow ore | F |
| I bent me o'er the deep smooth stream | G |
| And plunged the gold to get | H |
| But oh it vanished with my dream | G |
| And I got dripping wet | H |
| O'er lonely heath and darksome hill | I |
| As shivering home I went | J |
| The mocking Wizard whispered shrill | I |
| 'Thou'dst better been content ' | K |
