Broken Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDEF GHGIGIThe 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 |
