My Soul Is Dark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEF GHGHHIHIMy soul is dark Oh quickly string | A |
The harp I yet can brook to hear | B |
And let thy gentle fingers fling | A |
Its melting murmurs o'er mine ear | B |
If in this heart a hope be dear | C |
That sound shall charm it forth again | D |
If in these eyes there lurk a tear | E |
'Twill flow and cease to burn my brain | F |
- | |
But bid the strain be wild and deep | G |
Nor let thy notes of joy be first | H |
I tell thee minstrel I must weep | G |
Or else this heavy heart will burst | H |
For it hath been by sorrow nursed | H |
And ached in sleepless silence long | I |
And now 'tis doomed to know the worst | H |
And break at once or yield to song | I |
George Gordon Byron
