The Harper Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IDJD| Like a drift of faded blossoms | A |
| Caught in a slanting rain | B |
| His fingers glimpsed down the strings of his harp | C |
| In a tremulous refrain | B |
| - | |
| Patter and tinkle and drip and drip | D |
| Ah but the chords were rainy sweet | E |
| And I closed my eyes and I bit my lip | D |
| As he played there in the street | E |
| - | |
| Patter and drip and tinkle | F |
| And there was the little bed | G |
| In the corner of the garret | H |
| And the rafters overhead | G |
| - | |
| And there was the little window | I |
| Tinkle and drip and drip | D |
| The rain above and a mother's love | J |
| And God's companionship | D |
