Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFECGHGABII AGAGJKLK MBNBNNON PQCQABRB CSASTNUN VBCBAW W SBXBJ B BWeep not too much my darling | A |
Sigh not too oft for me | B |
Say not the face of Nature | C |
Has lost its charm for thee | B |
I have enough of anguish | D |
In my own breast alone | E |
Thou canst not ease the burden Love | F |
By adding still thine own | E |
I know the faith and fervour | C |
Of that true heart of thine | G |
But I would have it hopeful | H |
As thou wouldst render mine | G |
At night when I lie waking | A |
More soothing it will be | B |
To say 'She slumbers calmly now ' | I |
Than say 'She weeps for me ' | I |
- | |
When through the prison grating | A |
The holy moonbeams shine | G |
And I am wildly longing | A |
To see the orb divine | G |
Not crossed deformed and sullied | J |
By those relentless bars | K |
That will not show the crescent moon | L |
And scarce the twinkling stars | K |
- | |
It is my only comfort | M |
To think that unto thee | B |
The sight is not forbidden | N |
The face of heaven is free | B |
If I could think Zerona | N |
Is gazing upward now | N |
Is gazing with a tearless eye | O |
A calm unruffled brow | N |
- | |
That moon upon her spirit | P |
Sheds sweet celestial balm | Q |
The thought like Angel's whisper | C |
My misery would calm | Q |
And when at early morning | A |
A faint flush comes to me | B |
Reflected from those glowing skies | R |
I almost weep to see | B |
- | |
Or when I catch the murmur | C |
Of gently swaying trees | S |
Or hear the louder swelling | A |
Of the soul inspiring breeze | S |
And pant to feel its freshness | T |
Upon my burning brow | N |
Or sigh to see the twinkling leaf | U |
And watch the waving bough | N |
- | |
If from these fruitless yearnings | V |
Thou wouldst deliver me | B |
Say that the charms of Nature | C |
Are lovely still to thee | B |
While I am thus repining | A |
O let me but believe | W |
'These pleasures are not lost to her ' | - |
And I will cease to grieve | W |
- | |
O scorn not Nature's bounties | S |
My soul partakes with thee | B |
Drink bliss from all her fountains | X |
Drink for thyself and me | B |
Say not 'My soul is buried | J |
In dungeon gloom with thine ' | - |
But say 'His heart is here with me | B |
His spirit drinks with mine ' | - |
- | |
A E | B |
