Lines Composed In A Concert-room Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA ADAAE AFAFAFA FAGAGHHI JAHHAKLLGMMG| Nor cold nor stern my soul Yet I detest | A |
| These scented rooms where to a gaudy throug | B |
| Heaves the proud harlot her distended breast | A |
| In intricacies of laborious song | B |
| - | |
| These feel not musics genuine power nor deign | C |
| To melt at Natures passion warbled plaint | A |
| But when the long breathed singers up trilled strain | C |
| Bursts in a squall they gape for wonderment | A |
| - | |
| Hark the deep buzz of vanity and hate | A |
| Scornful yet envious with self torturing sneer | D |
| My lady eyes some maid of humbler state | A |
| While the pert captain or the primmer priest | A |
| Prattles accordant scandal in her ear | E |
| - | |
| give me from this heartless scene released | A |
| To hear our old musician blind and gray | F |
| Whom stretching from my nurses arms I kissed | A |
| His Scottish tunes and warlike marches play | F |
| By moonshine on the balmy summer night | A |
| The while I dance amid the tedded hay | F |
| With merry maids whose ringlets toss in light | A |
| - | |
| Or lies the purple evening on the bay | F |
| Of the calm glossy lake O let me hid | A |
| Unheard unseen behind the alder trees | G |
| For round their roots the fisher's boat is tied | A |
| On whose trim seat doth Edmund stretch at ease | G |
| And while the lazy boat sways to and fro | H |
| Breathes in his flute sad airs so wild and slow | H |
| That his own cheek is wet with quiet tears | I |
| - | |
| But O dear Anne when midnight wind careers | J |
| And the gust pelting on the out house shed | A |
| Makes the cock shrilly on the rain storm crow | H |
| To hear thee sing some ballad full of woe | H |
| Ballad of ship wrecked sailor floating dead | A |
| Whom his own true love buried in the sands | K |
| Thee gentle woman for thy voice re measures | L |
| Whatever tones and melancholy pleasures | L |
| The things of Nature utter birds or trees | G |
| Or moan of ocean gale in weedy caves | M |
| Or where the stiff grass mid the heath plant waves | M |
| Murmur and music thin of sudden breeze | G |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
