The Lady-s Lament Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAAAABAAAAAAABAAA AAAAABAAAAAAAAAA| Never happy any more | A |
| Aye turn the saying o'er and o'er | B |
| It says but what it said before | A |
| And heart and life are just as sore | A |
| The wet leaves blow aslant the floor | A |
| In the rain through the open door | A |
| No no more | A |
| Never happy any more | A |
| The eyes are weary and give o'er | B |
| But still the soul weeps as before | A |
| And always must each one deplore | A |
| Each once nor bear what others bore | A |
| This is now as it was of yore | A |
| No no more | A |
| Never happy any more | A |
| Is it not but a sorry lore | A |
| That says Take strength the worst is o'er | B |
| Shall the stars seem as heretofore | A |
| The day wears on more and more | A |
| While I was weeping the day wore | A |
| No no more | A |
| Never happy any more | A |
| In the cold behind the door | A |
| That was the dial striking four | A |
| One for joy the past hours bore | A |
| Two for hope and will cast o'er | B |
| One for the naked dark before | A |
| No no more | A |
| Never happy any more | A |
| Put the light out shut the door | A |
| Sweep the wet leaves from the floor | A |
| Even thus Fate's hand has swept her floor | A |
| Even thus Love's hand has shut the door | A |
| Through which his warm feet passed of yore | A |
| Shall it be opened any more | A |
| No no no more | A |
