The Broken Spell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI GJGJ| COME sing me the song that once gilded my gloom | A |
| And the heart unsubdued till that moment subdued | B |
| That with its red rose caused the rose tree to bloom | A |
| That long year after year without blossoms had stood | C |
| - | |
| With thy hand on my hand and thy cheek by my cheek | D |
| In thy wild and weird tones be that lay again sung | E |
| And the bleak world to me shall no longer be bleak | D |
| And this heart wrung by anguish no longer be wrung | E |
| - | |
| Then over thy grace shall thy voice throw a grace | F |
| And that image which long had its home in my breast | G |
| Be robed in a splendour no pencil could trace | F |
| And possest of a charm by no other possest | G |
| - | |
| Than its red shall thy lip then a richer dye show | H |
| And with beams brighter still shall thy hazel eyes burn | I |
| And thy beauty deep down in my spirit shall glow | H |
| And my life to a drop of pure ecstasy turn | I |
| - | |
| Shall the boon then be mine shall that music reward | G |
| Thus the faith of a heart that yet leapt at its strain | J |
| Ah broken's the spell of that song I oft heard | G |
| And so so thro' thy dark guile to me shall remain | J |
