Written In An Album Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFAG HHIIJJKI LLLLIIMN EEMMOOKK| Judge we of coming by the by past years | A |
| And still can Hope the siren soothe our fears | A |
| Cheated deceived our cherished day dreams o'er | B |
| We cling the closer and we trust the more | C |
| Oh who can say there's bliss in the review | D |
| Of hours when Hope with fairy fingers drew | D |
| A magic sketch of rapture yet to be | E |
| A rainbow horizon a life of glee | E |
| The world all bright before us vivid scene | F |
| Of cloudless sunshine and of fadeless green | F |
| A treacherous picture of our coming years | A |
| Bright in prospective welcomed but with tears | G |
| - | |
| How false the view a backward glance will tell | H |
| A tale of visions wrecked of broken spell | H |
| Of valued hearts estranged or careless grown | I |
| Affection's links dissevered or unknown | I |
| Of joys deemed fadeless gone to swift decay | J |
| And love's broad circle dwindled half away | J |
| Of early graves of friends who one by one | K |
| Leave us at last to journey on alone | I |
| - | |
| Turn to the home of childhood hallowed spot | L |
| Through life's vicissitudes still unforgot | L |
| The sacred hearth deserted now is found | L |
| Or unloved stranger forms are circling round | L |
| In the dear hall whose sounds were all our own | I |
| Are other voices other accents known | I |
| And where our early friends A starting tear | M |
| And the rude headstone promptly answer Here | N |
| - | |
| Thus will compare Hope's sketch of bliss to be | E |
| With the undreamed of sad reality | E |
| Yet this and more the afflicted heart may bear | M |
| If Faith celestial visitant be there | M |
| Whispering of greener shores of purer skies | O |
| Of flowers unfading love that never dies | O |
| A glimpse of joy to come in mercy given | K |
| The eternal sunshine of approving Heaven | K |
