Dear Harp Of My Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CECEFGFG| Dear Harp of my Country in darkness I found thee | A |
| The cold chain of Silence had hung o'er thee long | B |
| When proudly my own Island Harp I unbound thee | A |
| And gave all thy chords to light freedom and song | B |
| The warm lay of love and the light note of gladness | C |
| Have waken'd thy fondest thy livliest thrill | D |
| But so oft hast thou echoed the deep sigh of sadness | C |
| That even in thy mirth it will steal from thee still | D |
| - | |
| Dear Harp of my country farewell to thy numbers | C |
| This sweet wreath of song is the last we shall twine | E |
| Go sleep with the sunshine of Fame on thy slumbers | C |
| Till touch'd by some hand less unworthy than mine | E |
| If the pulse of the patriot soldier or lover | F |
| Have throbb'd at our lay 'tis thy glory alone | G |
| I was but as the wind passing heedlessly over | F |
| And all the wild sweetness I waked was thy own | G |
