Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBCBCBThe noble Column the green Laurel tree | A |
Are fall'n that shaded once my weary mind | B |
Now I have lost what I shall never find | B |
From North to South from Red to Indian Sea | A |
My double treasure Death has filched from me | A |
Which made me proud and happy midst my kind | B |
Nor may all empires of the world combined | B |
Nor Orient gems nor gold restore the key | A |
But if this be according to Fate's will | C |
What may I do but wander heavy souled | B |
With ever downcast head eyes weeping still | C |
O life of ours so lovely to behold | B |
In one brief morn how easily dost thou spill | C |
That which we toiled for years to gain and hold | B |
