Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEF GHIHIJKL MNONPHQH RSTSTUVW XYZYZA2B2A2The gloomy hours of silence wake | A |
Remembrance and her train | B |
And phantoms through the fancies chase | C |
The mem'ries that remain | B |
And hidden in the dark embrace | C |
Of days that now are gone | D |
I see a form a fairy form | E |
And fancy hurries on | F |
- | |
I see the old familiar smile | G |
I hear the tender tone | H |
I greet the softness of the glance | I |
That cheered me when alone | H |
The ruby chains of rich romance | I |
That bound our bosoms o'er | J |
I still can know I still can feel | K |
As they were felt before | L |
- | |
I name the vows the fresh young vows | M |
That we together said | N |
What matters it She can not know | O |
She slumbers with the dead | N |
Again the fields of fate I sow | P |
As she and I have sown | H |
I dream again the same old dreams | Q |
But I am left alone | H |
- | |
The twining grasses verdant wreathe | R |
Above her silent grave | S |
The rose and violet over all | T |
Their purest blossoms wave | S |
Unbidden from their fountains fall | T |
The tender tides of tears | U |
A sorrow winds among the days | V |
And chains the passing years | W |
- | |
My life commingles shine with shade | X |
The lily with the rose | Y |
And in my heart a loathsome weed | Z |
Beside each lily grows | Y |
Through every thought through every deed | Z |
The somber shadows play | A2 |
And I am sad alone and sad | B2 |
And life is never gay | A2 |
