Joseph Dixon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNHO| Who carved this shattered harp on my stone | A |
| I died to you no doubt But how many harps and pianos | B |
| Wired I and tightened and disentangled for you | C |
| Making them sweet again with tuning fork or without | D |
| Oh well A harp leaps out of the ear of a man you say | E |
| But whence the ear that orders the length of the strings | F |
| To a magic of numbers flying before your thought | G |
| Through a door that closes against your breathless wonder | H |
| Is there no Ear round the ear of a man that it senses | I |
| Through strings and columns of air the soul of sound | J |
| I thrill as I call it a tuning fork that catches | K |
| The waves of mingled music and light from afar | L |
| The antenn of Thought that listens through utmost space | M |
| Surely the concord that ruled my spirit is proof | N |
| Of an Ear that tuned me able to tune me over | H |
| And use me again if I am worthy to use | O |
