Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFEGHIHJKLKLMJM J| HIS DREAM | A |
| I SWAYED upon the gaudy stem | B |
| The butt end of a steering oar | C |
| And saw wherever I could turn | D |
| A crowd upon a shore | C |
| And though I would have hushed the crowd | E |
| There was no mother's son but said | F |
| 'What is the figure in a shroud | E |
| Upon a gaudy bed ' | G |
| And after running at the brim | H |
| Cried out upon that thing beneath | I |
| It had such dignity of limb | H |
| By the sweet name of Death | J |
| Though I'd my finger on my lip | K |
| What could I but take up the song | L |
| And running crowd and gaudy ship | K |
| Cried out the whole night long | L |
| Crying amid the glittering sea | M |
| Naming it with ecstatic breath | J |
| Because it had such dignity | M |
| By the sweet name of Death | J |
