The Harp's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CD EE FF GG HH II| All day all day in a calm like death | A |
| The harp hung waiting the sea wind's breath | A |

| When the western sky flushed red with shame | B |
| At the sun's bold kiss the sea wind came | B |
| - | |
| Said the harp to the breeze Oh breathe as soft | C |
| As the ring dove cooes from its nest aloft | D |
| - | |
| I am full of a song that mothers croon | E |
| When their wee ones tire of their play at noon | E |
| - | |
| Though a harp may feel 'tis a silent thing | F |
| Till the breeze arises and bids it sing | F |
| - | |
| Said the wind to the harp Nay sing for me | G |
| The wail of the dead that are lost at sea | G |
| - | |
| I caught their cry as I came along | H |
| And I hurried to find you and teach you the song | H |
| - | |
| Oh the heart is the harp and love is the breeze | I |
| And the song is ever what love may please | I |
