Bereft, She Thinks She Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC DBDBECECI dream that the dearest I ever knew | A |
Has died and been entombed | B |
I am sure it's a dream that cannot be true | A |
But I am so overgloomed | B |
By its persistence that I would gladly | C |
Have quick death take me | C |
Rather than longer think thus sadly | C |
So wake me wake me | C |
- | |
- | |
It has lasted days but minute and hour | D |
I expect to get aroused | B |
And find him as usual in the bower | D |
Where we so happily housed | B |
Yet stays this nightmare too appalling | E |
And like a web shakes me | C |
And piteously I keep on calling | E |
And no one wakes me | C |
