Harp Of The North, Farewell! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBDD EFEFFGFGG HBIBBJBJJ| Harp of the North farewell The hills grow dark | A |
| On purple peaks a deeper shade descending | B |
| In twilight copse the glow worm lights her spark | A |
| The deer half seen are to the covert wending | B |
| Resume thy wizard elm the fountain lending | B |
| And the wild breeze thy wilder minstrelsy | C |
| Thy numbers sweet with nature's vespers blending | B |
| With distant echo from the fold and lea | D |
| And herd boy's evening pipe and hum of housing bee | D |
| - | |
| Yet once again farewell thou Minstrel Harp | E |
| Yet once again forgive my feeble sway | F |
| And little reck I of the censure sharp | E |
| May idly cavil at an idle lay | F |
| Much have I owed thy strains on life's long way | F |
| Through secret woes the world has never known | G |
| When on the weary night dawned wearier day | F |
| And bitterer was the grief devoured alone | G |
| That I o'erlive such woes Enchantress is thine own | G |
| - | |
| Hark as my lingering footsteps slow retire | H |
| Some spirit of the Air has waked thy string | B |
| 'Tis now a seraph bold with touch of fire | I |
| 'Tis now the brush of Fairy's frolic wing | B |
| Receding now the dying numbers ring | B |
| Fainter and fainter down the rugged dell | J |
| And now the mountain breezes scarcely bring | B |
| A wandering witch note of the distant spell | J |
| And now 'tis silent all Enchantress fare thee well | J |
