Alfred Tennyson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFGHI| Tears idle tears Ah who shall bid us weep | A |
| Now that thy lyre O prophet is unstrung | B |
| What voice shall rouse the dull world from its sleep | A |
| And lead its requiem as when Grief was young | B |
| And thou in thy rapt youth Time's bards among | B |
| Captured our ears and we looked up and heard | C |
| Spring's sweetest music on thy mourning tongue | B |
| And knew thee for Pain's paradisal bird | C |
| We are alone without thee in our tears | D |
| Alone in our mute chauntings Vows are vain | E |
| To tell thee how we loved thee in those years | F |
| Nor dream to look upon thy like again | G |
| We know not how to weep without thy aid | H |
| Since all that tears would tell thyself hast said | I |
