A Minor Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADEC FDDFGG| I am a shell From me you shall not hear | A |
| The splendid tramplings of insistent drums | B |
| The orbed gold of the viol's voice that comes | B |
| Heavy with radiance languorous and clear | C |
| Yet if you hold me close against the ear | A |
| A dim far whisper rises clamorously | D |
| The thunderous beat and passion of the sea | E |
| The slow surge of the tides that drown the mere | C |
| - | |
| Others with subtle hands may pluck the strings | F |
| Making even Love in music audible | D |
| And earth one glory I am but a shell | D |
| That moves not of itself and moving sings | F |
| Leaving a fragrance faint as wine new shed | G |
| A tremulous murmur from great days long dead | G |
