Beecher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| So Beecher's dead His was a great soul too | A |
| Great as a giant organ is whose reeds | B |
| Hold in them all the souls of all the creeds | B |
| That man has ever taught and never knew | A |
| - | |
| When on this mighty instrument He laid | C |
| His hand Who fashioned it our common moan | D |
| Was suppliant in its thundering The tone | D |
| Grew more vivacious when the Devil played | C |
| - | |
| No more those luring harmonies we hear | E |
| And lo already men forget the sound | F |
| They turn retracing all the dubious ground | F |
| O'er which it led them pigwise by the ear | E |
