A Singer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAAB BCDDEB| That which he did not feel he would not sing | A |
| What most he felt religion it was to hide | B |
| In a dumb darkling grotto where the spring | A |
| Of tremulous tears arising unespied | B |
| Became a holy well that durst not glide | B |
| Into the day with moil or murmuring | A |
| Whereto as if to some unlawful thing | A |
| He sto e musing or praying at its side | B |
| - | |
| But in the sun he sang with cheerful heart | B |
| Of coloured season and the whirling sphere | C |
| Warm household habitude and human mirth | D |
| The whole faith blooded mystery of earth | D |
| And I who had his secret still could hear | E |
| The grotto's whisper low through every part | B |
