A Singing Lesson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB| Far fetched and dear bought as the proverb rehearses | A |
| Is good or was held so for ladies but nought | B |
| In a song can be good if the turn of the verse is | A |
| Far fetched and dear bought | B |
| - | |
| As the turn of a wave should it sound and the thought | B |
| Ring smooth and as light as the spray that disperses | A |
| Be the gleam of the words for the garb thereof wrought | B |
| - | |
| Let the soul in it shine through the sound as it pierces | A |
| Men's hearts with possession of music unsought | B |
| For the bounties of song are no jealous god's mercies | A |
| Far fetched and dear bought | B |
