Why, Minstrel, These Untuneful Murmurings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADAADAA| Why Minstrel these untuneful murmurings | A |
| Dull flagging notes that with each other jar | B |
| Think gentle Lady of a Harp so far | B |
| From its own country and forgive the strings | A |
| A simple answer but even so forth springs | A |
| From the Castalian fountain of the heart | C |
| The Poetry of Life and all 'that' Art | C |
| Divine of words quickening insensate things | A |
| From the submissive necks of guiltless men | D |
| Stretched on the block the glittering axe recoils | A |
| Sun moon and stars all struggle in the toils | A |
| Of mortal sympathy what wonder then | D |
| That the poor Harp distempered music yields | A |
| To its sad Lord far from his native fields | A |
