Dreaming For Ever Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEAFAF| Dreaming for ever vainly dreaming | A |
| Life to the last pursues its flight | B |
| Day hath its visions fairly beaming | A |
| But false as those of night | B |
| The one illusion the other real | C |
| But both the same brief dreams at last | D |
| And when we grasp the bliss ideal | C |
| Soon as it shines 'tis past | D |
| - | |
| Here then by this dim lake reposing | A |
| Calmly I'll watch while light and gloom | E |
| Flit o'er its face till night is closing | A |
| Emblem of life's short doom | E |
| But tho' by turns thus dark and shining | A |
| 'Tis still unlike man's changeful day | F |
| Whose light returns not once declining | A |
| Whose cloud once come will stay | F |
