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