On Hearing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDABEFAGHGHGH| O stay harmonious and sweet sounds that die | A |
| In the long vaultings of this ancient fane | B |
| Stay for I may not hear on earth again | C |
| Those pious airs that glorious harmony | D |
| Lifting the soul to brighter orbs on high | A |
| Worlds without sin or sorrow Ah the strain | B |
| Has died even the last sounds that lingeringly | E |
| Hung on the roof ere they expired | F |
| And I | A |
| Stand in the world of strife amidst a throng | G |
| A throng that reckons not of death or sin | H |
| Oh jarring scenes to cease indeed ere long | G |
| The worm hears not the discord and the din | H |
| But he whose heart thrills to this angel song | G |
| Feels the pure joy of heaven on earth begin | H |
