A Dream Or No Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BCCB DEED BAAB AFFA BAAB| Why go to Saint Juliot What's Juliot to me | A |
| I've been but made fancy | A |
| By some necromancy | A |
| That much of my life claims the spot as its key | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Yes I have had dreams of that place in the West | B |
| And a maiden abiding | C |
| Thereat as in hiding | C |
| Fair eyed and white shouldered broad browed and brown tressed | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| And of how coastward bound on a night long ago | D |
| There lonely I found her | E |
| The sea birds around her | E |
| And other than nigh things uncaring to know | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| So sweet her life there in my thought has it seemed | B |
| That quickly she drew me | A |
| To take her unto me | A |
| And lodge her long years with me Such have I dreamed | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| But nought of that maid from Saint Juliot I see | A |
| Can she ever have been here | F |
| And shed her life's sheen here | F |
| The woman I thought a long housemate with me | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Does there even a place like Saint Juliot exist | B |
| Or a Vallency Valley | A |
| With stream and leafed alley | A |
| Or Beeny or Bos with its flounce flinging mist | B |
