On Hearing A Lady Play On The Musical Glasses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFEDGHGH| Beyond expression delicately fine | A |
| Beneath her slender fingers swept the sound | B |
| Of 'witching tones melodious divine | A |
| Soothing and soft upon the sense they wound | B |
| Join'd with the syrens' music as it were | C |
| As her sweet voice came mingling on the ear | D |
| Ah who but knows what woman's voice can do | E |
| To every soul such melody is dear | F |
| Angelic harmony and beauty too | E |
| Our very hearts melt in the sounds we hear | D |
| The breaks the pauses check our pulse's beats | G |
| Enraptur'd memory still each air retains | H |
| And as the mind the syren's songs repeats | G |
| Creates sensations sweeter than her strains | H |
