When To Sad Music Silent You Listen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD BEBEAFAF| When to sad Music silent you listen | A |
| And tears on those eyelids tremble like dew | B |
| Oh then there dwells in those eyes as they glisten | A |
| A sweet holy charm that mirth never knew | B |
| But when some lively strain resounding | C |
| Lights up the sunshine of joy on that brow | D |
| Then the young reindeer o'er the hills bounding | C |
| Was ne'er in its mirth so graceful as thou | D |
| - | |
| When on the skies at midnight thou gazest | B |
| A lustre so pure thy features then wear | E |
| That when to some star that bright eye thou raisest | B |
| We feel 'tis thy home thou'rt looking for there | E |
| But when the word for the gay dance is given | A |
| So buoyant thy spirit so heartfelt thy mirth | F |
| Oh then we exclaim Ne'er leave earth for heaven | A |
| But linger still here to make heaven of earth | F |
