Hope. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG FHFH IJIB| Hope Was but a timid friend | A |
| She sat without the grated den | B |
| Watching how my fate would tend | A |
| Even as selfish hearted men | B |
| - | |
| She was cruel in her fear | C |
| Through the bars one dreary day | D |
| I looked out to see her there | E |
| And she turned her face away | D |
| - | |
| Like a false guard false watch keeping | F |
| Still in strife she whispered peace | G |
| She would sing while I was weeping | F |
| If I listened she would cease | G |
| - | |
| False she was and unrelenting | F |
| When my last joys strewed the ground | H |
| Even Sorrow saw repenting | F |
| Those sad relics scattered round | H |
| - | |
| Hope whose whisper would have given | I |
| Balm to all my frenzied pain | J |
| Stretched her wings and soared to heaven | I |
| Went and ne'er returned again | B |
