On Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIHIJKLK MNMNEOEO| When through life unblest we rove | A |
| Losing all that made life dear | B |
| Should some notes we used to love | C |
| In days of boyhood meet our ear | D |
| Oh how welcome breathes the strain | E |
| Wakening thoughts that long have slept | F |
| Kindling former smiles again | G |
| In faded eyes that long have wept | F |
| - | |
| Like the gale that sighs along | H |
| Beds of oriental flowers | I |
| Is the grateful breath of song | H |
| That once was heard in happier hours | I |
| Fill'd with balm the gale sighs on | J |
| Though the flowers have sunk in death | K |
| So when pleasure's dream is gone | L |
| Its memory lives in Music's breath | K |
| - | |
| Music oh how faint how weak | M |
| Language fades before thy spell | N |
| Why should Feeling ever speak | M |
| When thou canst breathe her soul so well | N |
| Friendship's balmy words may feign | E |
| Love's are even more false than they | O |
| Oh 'tis only music's strain | E |
| Can sweetly soothe and not betray | O |
