Twas One Of Those Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEF GGHH IJKL MMNN OOPP| 'TWAS one of those dreams that by music are brought | A |
| Like a bright summer haze o'er the poet's warm thought | A |
| When lost in the future his soul wanders on | B |
| And all of this life but its sweetness is gone | C |
| - | |
| The wild notes he heard o'er the water were those | D |
| He had taught to sing Erin's dark bondage and woes | D |
| And the breath of the bugle now wafted them o'er | E |
| From Dinis' green isle to Glena's wooded shore | F |
| - | |
| He listen'd while high o'er the eagle's rude nest | G |
| The lingering sounds on their way loved to rest | G |
| And the echoes sung back from their full mountain quire | H |
| As if loath to let song to enchanting expire | H |
| - | |
| It seem'd as if every sweet note that died here | I |
| Was again brought to life in some airier sphere | J |
| Some heaven in those hills where the soul of the strain | K |
| That had ceased upon earth was awaking again | L |
| - | |
| Oh forgive if while listening to music whose breath | M |
| Seem'd to circle his name with a charm against death | M |
| He should feel a proud spirit within him proclaim | N |
| Even so shalt thou live in the echoes of Fame | N |
| - | |
| Even so though thy memory should now die away | O |
| 'Twill be caught up again in some happier day | O |
| And the hearts and the voices of Erin prolong | P |
| Through the answering Future thy name and thy song | P |
