Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFGGFHI| O harmony thou tenderest nurse of pain | A |
| If that thy note's sweet magic e'er can heal | B |
| Griefs which the patient spirit oft may feel | B |
| Oh let me listen to thy songs again | C |
| Till memory her fairest tints shall bring | D |
| Hope wake with brighter eye and listening seem | E |
| With smiles to think on some delightful dream | E |
| That waved o'er the charmed sense its gladsome wing | D |
| For when thou leadest all thy soothing strains | F |
| More smooth along the silent passions meet | G |
| In one suspended transport sad and sweet | G |
| And nought but sorrow's softest touch remains | F |
| That when the transitory charm is o'er | H |
| Just wakes a tear and then is felt no more | I |
