Broken Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDEF GHGIGI| The mother will not turn who thinks she hears | A |
| Her nursling's speech first grow articulate | B |
| But breathless with averted eyes elate | B |
| She sits with open lips and open ears | C |
| That it may call her twice 'Mid doubts and fears | C |
| Thus oft my soul has hearkened till the song | D |
| A central moan for days at length found tongue | E |
| And the sweet music welled and the sweet tears | F |
| - | |
| But now whatever while the soul is fain | G |
| To list that wonted murmur as it were | H |
| The speech bound sea shell's low importunate strain | G |
| No breath of song thy voice alone is there | I |
| O bitterly beloved and all her gain | G |
| Is but the pang of unpermitted prayer | I |
