The Harlequin Of Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE G| Swift through some trap mine eyes have never found | A |
| Dim panelled in the painted scene of Sleep | B |
| Thou giant Harlequin of Dreams dost leap | B |
| Upon my spirit's stage Then Sight and Sound | A |
| Then Space and Time then Language Mete and Bound | A |
| And all familiar Forms that firmly keep | B |
| Man's reason in the road change faces peep | B |
| Betwixt the legs and mock the daily round | A |
| Yet thou canst more than mock sometimes my tears | C |
| At midnight break through bounden lids a sign | D |
| Thou hast a heart and oft thy little leaven | E |
| Of dream taught wisdom works me bettered years | F |
| In one night witch saint trickster fool divine | D |
| I think thou'rt Jester at the Court of Heaven | E |
