Remembered Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCB DBDDB EBEEB| She sang and I listened the whole song thro' | A |
| It was sweet so sweet the singing | B |
| The stars were out and the moon it grew | A |
| From a wee soft glimmer way out in the blue | A |
| To a bird thro' the heavens winging | B |
| - | |
| She sang and the song trembled down to my breast | C |
| It was sweet so sweet the singing | B |
| As a dove just out of its fledgling nest | C |
| And putting its wings to the first sweet test | C |
| Flutters homeward so wearily winging | B |
| - | |
| She sang and I said to my heart That song | D |
| That was sweet so sweet i' the singing | B |
| Shall live with us and inspire us long | D |
| And thou my heart shalt be brave and strong | D |
| For the sake of those words a winging | B |
| - | |
| The woman died and the song was still | E |
| It was sweet so sweet the singing | B |
| But ever I hear the same low trill | E |
| Of the song that shakes my heart with a thrill | E |
| And goes forever winging | B |
