To An Aeolian Harp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFDGF| The winds have grown articulate in thee | A |
| And voiced again the wail of ancient woe | B |
| That smote upon the winds of long ago | B |
| The cries of Trojan women as they flee | A |
| The quivering moan of pale Andromache | C |
| Now lifted loud with pain and now brought low | B |
| It is the soul of sorrow that we know | B |
| As in a shell the soul of all the sea | A |
| So sometimes in the compass of a song | D |
| Unknown to him who sings thro' lips that live | E |
| The voiceless dead of long forgotten lands | F |
| Proclaim to us their heaviness and wrong | D |
| In sweeping sadness of the winds that give | G |
| Thy strings no rest from weariless wild hands | F |
