This is breif summery of an article about harmony in poetry.
There are three types of harmony in poetry:
the first is style, that needs to match subject matter, the tone between tragedy and comedy, lyrical poetry or the pastoral! etc
A second type consists in the relation between the sounds and words and the topic of the thought. Therefore do not use harsh words to talk about sweet things, or use pleasant words for hard and unpleasant ones. Sounds rarely contradict the spirit of the work.
The third type of harmony in poetry can be called artificial, unlike the other two. It is only clearly noticeable in poetry. It is a certain art that not only chooses expressions and sounds appropriate to their meaning, it also matches them in such a way that all the syllables in a verse produced by their sound, number, and quantity, together produce another type of expression which adds to the original meaning of the words.
