When Love Is Lost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AABBAC| When love is lost the day sets towards the night | A |
| Albeit the morning sun may still be bright | A |
| And not one cloud ship sails across the sky | B |
| Yet from the places where it used to lie | B |
| Gone is the lustrous glory of the light | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| No splendour rests in any mountain height | A |
| No scene spreads fair and beauteous to the sight | A |
| All all seems dull and dreary to the eye | B |
| When love is lost | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Love lends to life its grandeur and its might | A |
| Love goes and leaves behind it gloom and blight | A |
| Like ghosts of time the pallid hours drag by | B |
| And grief's one happy thought is that we die | B |
| Ah what can recompense us for its flight | A |
| When love is lost | C |
