Song Written To A Hindoo Air Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEEFF GHGI JJKKGG| Ask not whence springs my ceaseless sadness | A |
| But let me still the secret keep | B |
| Ask not why thus in restless madness | A |
| Pass the long hours once given to sleep | B |
| - | |
| And strive not thus my looks to read | C |
| For 't is by certain fate decreed | D |
| The cause that bids me rove forlorn | E |
| If known would only move thy scorn | E |
| And make with anger's lightnings shine | F |
| Those now soft smiling eyes of thine | F |
| - | |
| But know when I no more behold thee | G |
| And to distant scenes remove | H |
| Should e'er a mournful tale be told thee | G |
| Of a youth who died for love | I |
| - | |
| Who though unknown to rank and fame | J |
| Dared to admire a high born dame | J |
| But still averse to wound her pride | K |
| Sad silence kept and pined and died | K |
| My likeness in that victim see | G |
| And pitying him thou'lt pity me | G |
