Piano Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFFSoftly 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 |
