Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFFGGHHIIJJKK LLMMNNWell some may hate and some may scorn | A |
And some may quite forget thy name | B |
But my sad heart must ever mourn | A |
Thy ruined hopes thy blighted fame | B |
'Twas thus I thought an hour ago | C |
Even weeping o'er that wretch's woe | C |
One word turned back my gushing tears | D |
And lit my altered eye with sneers | E |
Then Bless the friendly dust I said | F |
That hides thy unlamented head | F |
Vain as thou wert and weak as vain | G |
The slave of Falsehood Pride and Pain | G |
My heart has nought akin to thine | H |
Thy soul is powerless over mine | H |
But these were thoughts that vanished too | I |
Unwise unholy and untrue | I |
Do I despise the timid deer | J |
Because his limbs are fleet with fear | J |
Or would I mock the wolf's death howl | K |
Because his form is gaunt and foul | K |
Or hear with joy the leveret's cry | L |
Because it cannot bravely die | L |
No Then above his memory | M |
Let Pity's heart as tender be | M |
Say Earth lie lightly on that breast | N |
And kind Heaven grant that spirit rest | N |
