The Rosary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| Not on the lute nor harp of many strings | A |
| Shall all men praise the Master of all song | B |
| Our life is brief one saith and art is long | B |
| And skilled must be the laureates of kings | A |
| Silent O lips that utter foolish things | A |
| Rest awkward fingers striking all notes wrong | B |
| How from your toil shall issue white and strong | B |
| Music like that God's chosen poet sings | A |
| - | |
| There is one harp that any hand can play | C |
| And from its strings what harmonies arise | D |
| There is one song that any mouth can say | C |
| A song that lingers when all singing dies | D |
| When on their beads our Mother's children pray | C |
| Immortal music charms the grateful skies | D |
