Piano Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF| Softly in the dusk a woman is singing to me | A |
| Taking me back down the vista of years till I see | A |
| A child sitting under the piano in the boom of the tingling strings | B |
| And pressing the small poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings | B |
| - | |
| In spite of myself the insidious mastery of song | C |
| Betrays me back till the heart of me weeps to belong | C |
| To the old Sunday evenings at home with winter outside | D |
| And hymns in the cosy parlour the tinkling piano our guide | D |
| - | |
| So now it is vain for the singer to burst into clamour | E |
| With the great black piano appassionato The glamour | E |
| Of childish days is upon me my manhood is cast | F |
| Down in the flood of remembrance I weep like a child for the past | F |
