The Lost One Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIJKFLMANO PQRSBFTUSVKWOKXGMY| COME to the grave the silent grave and dream | A |
| Of a light happy voice so full of joy | B |
| That those who heard her laugh would laugh again | C |
| Echoing the mirth of such an innocent spirit | D |
| And pause in their own converse to look round | E |
| Won by the witchery of that gleesome tone | F |
| Come to the grave the lone dark grave and dream | A |
| Of eyes whose brilliancy was of the soul | G |
| Eyes which with one bright flash from their dark lids | H |
| Seemed at a glance to read the thoughts of others | I |
| Or with a full entire tenderness | J |
| The pure expression of all perfect love | K |
| Of woman's love which is for you alone | F |
| While your's is for yourself gave in that look | L |
| The promise of a life of meek affection | M |
| Come to the grave the mouldering grave and dream | A |
| Of a fair form that glided over earth | N |
| One of its happiest creatures to her cheek | O |
| - | |
| The lightest word might bring the blushing blood | P |
| In pure carnation down her graceful neck | Q |
| The long rich curls of jet hung carelessly | R |
| Untortured by the cunning hand of art | S |
| And on her brow bright purity and joy | B |
| Twin sisters sate as on a holy throne | F |
| Come yet unto the grave the still damp grave | T |
| And dream of a young heart that beat with life | U |
| And all life's best affections of a heart | S |
| Where sorrow never came nor fear nor sin | V |
| Nor aught save innocence and perfect love | K |
| And having dreamed of such a lovely being | W |
| So gay so bright so pure so fond so meek | O |
| Having thus conjured up a form of love | K |
| In thine own pausing and regretful mind | X |
| A vision will be present to thy soul | G |
| A faint but faithful portraiture of one | M |
| Most dearly loved and now for ever lost | Y |
