Jenny Lind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCA DEFDEF| There was a something in your song men say | A |
| No later singer voices some strange power | B |
| Like to the essence in a rare June day | A |
| Or like the subtle perfume of a flower | B |
| Awed and inspired your listeners turned away | A |
| Baptized in your sweet music's holy shower | B |
| For through that music shone the glorious dower | C |
| Of your great soul here all the secret lay | A |
| - | |
| Not for the honours of this earth you sang | D |
| Not for its gold or glory not for art | E |
| Not for the fortunes at your fair feet hurled | F |
| The love of God through all your measures rang | D |
| And each pure note bespoke a noble heart | E |
| When worth weds genius lo they rule the world | F |
