The Broken Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF CGCG HCHI| Oh think not with love's soft token | A |
| Or music my heart to thrill | B |
| For its strings its strings are broken | A |
| And the chords would fain be still | B |
| - | |
| Oh think not to waken the measure | C |
| Of joy on a ruined lute | D |
| Think not to waken pleasure | C |
| Where grief sits mourning and mute | D |
| - | |
| The pearls that gleam in the billow | E |
| But darken the gloom of the deep | F |
| And laughter plants the pillow | E |
| With thorns where sorrow would sleep | F |
| - | |
| The gems that gleam on the finger | C |
| Of her who is sleeping and cold | G |
| But wring the hearts that linger | C |
| And dream of the love they told | G |
| - | |
| My bosom is but a grave | H |
| My breast a voiceless choir | C |
| Speak not to the echoless cave | H |
| Touch not the broken lyre | I |
