Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDCD EFEF GHGHIIJJ| In vain when music s seraph fire | A |
| Runs kindling through the air | B |
| Making it such as gods respire | B |
| And gods perhaps are there | B |
| In vain would words of subtlest wit | C |
| Reveal as on they roll | D |
| The clouds of glory it hath lit | C |
| Like sunrise in the soul | D |
| - | |
| Like sunrise when its conquering glow | E |
| Smites through the vapours cold | F |
| Till all their ragged inlets flow | E |
| With floods of burning gold | F |

| Like him who great reports of tilth rejects | G |
| Because his own is a most barren field | H |
| Is he who man s divinity suspects | G |
| Because his own soul doth so little yield | H |
| Better is one who through himself can see | I |
| How good how lovely all mankind might be | I |
| Though mere experience give his faith the lie | J |
| And all his hopes breathe the world s breath to die | J |
