Sonnet (1928) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFDEF| I am in need of music that would flow | A |
| Over my fretful feeling finger tips | B |
| Over my bitter tainted trembling lips | B |
| With melody deep clear and liquid slow | A |
| Oh for the healing swaying old and low | A |
| Of some song sung to rest the tired dead | C |
| A song to fall like water on my head | C |
| And over quivering limbs dream flushed to glow | A |
| - | |
| There is a magic made by melody | D |
| A spell of rest and quiet breath and cool | E |
| Heart that sinks through fading colors deep | F |
| To the subaqueous stillness of the sea | D |
| And floats forever in a moon green pool | E |
| Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep | F |
