Afterwards Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBADEFDGF| SHE opened her moist crimson lips to sing | A |
| And from her throat that is so white and full | B |
| The notes leaped like a fountain A smooth lull | C |
| Was o'er my heart as when a viol string | A |
| Having been broken the first musical ring | A |
| Once over all the rest is but a dull | C |
| Crude dissonance howe'er thou twist and pull | B |
| The sundered fragments A most weary thing | A |
| It is within the perished heart to seek | D |
| Pain and not find it but a clinging pall | E |
| Like sleep upon the mind The mere set plan | F |
| Of life then comes and grief that is not weak | D |
| Because it has no tears Life's all in all | G |
| Was certainly at end when this began | F |
