Unstrung Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI| My skies were blue and my sun was bright | A |
| And with fingers tender and strong and light | A |
| He woke up the music that slept before | B |
| Echoing echoing evermore | B |
| - | |
| By and by my skies grew grey | C |
| No master touch on the harp strings lay | C |
| Dead silence cradled the notes divine | D |
| His soul had wander'd away from mine | D |
| - | |
| Idly o'er strange harps swept his hand | E |
| Seeking for music more wild and grand | E |
| He wearied at last of his fruitless quest | F |
| And he came again to my harp for rest | F |
| - | |
| But the dust lay thick on the golden wires | G |
| And they would not thrill to the old desires | G |
| The chords so broken and jarred with pain | H |
| Could never be tender and sweet again | I |
