Who Would Have Thought? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCEE| Who would have thought that even an idle song | A |
| Were such a holy and celestial thing | B |
| That wickedness and envy cannot sing | B |
| That music for no moment lives with wrong | A |
| I know this for a very grievous throng | A |
| Dark thoughts low wishes round my bosom cling | B |
| And underneath the hidden holy spring | B |
| Stagnates because of their enchantment strong | A |
| - | |
| Blow breath of heaven on all this poison blow | C |
| And heart glow upward to this gracious breath | D |
| Between them vanish mist of sin and death | D |
| And let the life of life within me flow | C |
| Love is the green earth the celestial air | E |
| And music runs like dews and rivers there | E |
