The Broken Harp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| O thou who 'mid the forest trees | A |
| With thy harmonious trembling strain | B |
| Could'st change at once to soothing ease | A |
| My love sick bosom's cruel pain | B |
| Thou droop'st in dreary silence now | C |
| With shiver'd frame and broken string | D |
| While here unhelp'd beneath the bough | C |
| I sit and feebly strive to sing | D |
| - | |
| The moon no more illumes the ground | E |
| In night and vapour dies my lay | F |
| For with thy sweet and melting sound | E |
| Fled all at once her silver ray | F |
| O soon O soon shall this sad heart | G |
| Which beats so low and bleeds so free | H |
| O'ercome by its fell load of smart | G |
| Be broke O ruin'd harp like thee | H |
George Borrow
