The Harp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBC DDD EEE FFF GGG| Across the wind swept spaces of the sky | A |
| The harp of all the world is hung on high | A |
| And through its shining strings the swallows fly | A |
| - | |
| The little silver fingers of the rain | B |
| Oft touch it softly to a low refrain | B |
| That all day long comes o'er and o'er again | C |
| - | |
| And when the storms of God above it roll | D |
| The mighty wind awakes its sleeping soul | D |
| To songs of wild delight or bitter dole | D |
| - | |
| And through the quiet night as faint and far | E |
| As melody down drifted from a star | E |
| Trembles strange music where those harp strings are | E |
| - | |
| But only flying words of joy and woe | F |
| Caught from the restless earth bound souls below | F |
| Over the vibrant wires ebb and flow | F |
| - | |
| And in the cities that men call their own | G |
| And in the unnamed places waste and lone | G |
| This harp forever sounds Life's undertone | G |
