The Piano-organ Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GDED DHIH| My student lamp is lighted | A |
| The books and papers are spread | B |
| A sound comes floating upwards | C |
| Chasing the thoughts from my head | B |
| - | |
| I open the garret window | D |
| Let the music in and the moon | E |
| See the woman grin for coppers | F |
| While the man grinds out the tune | E |
| - | |
| Grind me a dirge or a requiem | G |
| Or a funeral march sad and slow | D |
| But not O not that waltz tune | E |
| I heard so long ago | D |
| - | |
| I stand upright by the window | D |
| The moonlight streams in wan | H |
| O God with its changeless rise and fall | I |
| The tune twirls on and on | H |
