The Harp The Monarch Minstrel Swept Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDCDD EFEFGHIHIJ| The harp the monarch minstrel swept | A |
| The King of men the loved of Heaven | B |
| Which Music hallow'd while she wept | A |
| O'er tones her heart of hearts had given | B |
| Redoubled be her tears its chords are riven | B |
| It soften'd men of iron mould | C |
| It gave them virtues not their own | D |
| No ear so dull no soul so cold | C |
| That felt not fired not to the tone | D |
| Till David's lyre grew mightier than his throne | D |
| - | |
| It told the triumphs of our King | E |
| It wafted glory to our God | F |
| It made our gladden'd valleys ring | E |
| The cedars bow the mountains nod | F |
| Its sound aspired to heaven and there abode | G |
| Since then though heard on earth no more | H |
| Devotion and her daughter Love | I |
| Still bid the bursting spirit soar | H |
| To sounds that seem as from above | I |
| In dreams that day's broad light can not remove | J |
