Proem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDE FGHGII JKLKDE| They called him mad the poor old man | A |
| Whose white hair worn and thin | B |
| Fell o'er his shoulders as he played | C |
| His cherished violin | B |
| Forever drawing to and fro | D |
| O'er silent strings a loosened bow | E |
| - | |
| At times on his pathetic face | F |
| A look of perfect rapture shone | G |
| Intent on some celestial chords | H |
| Discerned by him alone | G |
| And sometimes he would smile and pause | I |
| As if receiving loud applause | I |
| - | |
| So many a humble poet dreams | J |
| His songs will touch the human heart | K |
| And full of hope his offering lays | L |
| Before the shrine of Art | K |
| Poor dreamer may he never know | D |
| That he too draws a silent bow | E |
