Bereft, She Thinks She Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC DBDBECEC| I 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 |
