Harmonics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEED EFEFBE| This string upon my harp was best beloved | A |
| I thought I knew its secrets through and through | B |
| Till an old man whose young eyes lightened blue | B |
| 'Neath his white hair bent over me and moved | C |
| His fingers up and down and broke the wire | D |
| To such a laddered music rung on rung | E |
| As from the patriarch's pillow skyward sprung | E |
| Crowded with wide flung wings and feet of fire | D |
| - | |
| O vibrant heart so metely tuned and strung | E |
| That any untaught hand can draw from thee | F |
| One clear gold note that makes the tired years young | E |
| What of the time when Love had whispered me | F |
| Where slept thy nodes and my hand pausefully | B |
| Gave to the dim harmonics voice and tongue | E |
