A Minor Chord Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DEFDEF| I heard a strain of music in the street | A |
| A wandering waif of sound And then straightway | B |
| A nameless desolation filled the day | C |
| The great green earth that had been fair and sweet | A |
| Seemed but a tomb the life I thought replete | A |
| With joy grew lonely for a vanished May | C |
| Forgotten sorrows resurrected lay | C |
| Like bleaching skeletons about my feet | A |
| - | |
| Above me stretched the silent suffering sky | D |
| Dumb with vast anguish for departed suns | E |
| That brutal Time to nothingness has hurled | F |
| The daylight was as sad as smiles that lie | D |
| Upon the wistful unkissed mouths of nuns | E |
| And I stood prisoned in an awful world | F |
