My Harp Has One Unchanging Theme. (swedish Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIHI| My harp has one unchanging theme | A |
| One strain that still comes o'er | B |
| Its languid chord as 'twere a dream | A |
| Of joy that's now no more | C |
| In vain I try with livelier air | D |
| To wake the breathing string | E |
| That voice of other times is there | D |
| And saddens all I sing | E |
| - | |
| Breathe on breathe on thou languid strain | F |
| Henceforth be all my own | G |
| Tho' thou art oft so full of pain | F |
| Few hearts can bear thy tone | G |
| Yet oft thou'rt sweet as if the sigh | H |
| The breath that Pleasure's wings | I |
| Gave out when last they wantoned by | H |
| Were still upon thy strings | I |
