Rhyme Scheme: AAABAAAC CCCDCCCE EEEFGEDH HHHIHHHI IIICIIIC

Alone walkingA
In thought plainingA
And sore sighingA
All desolateB
Me rememb'ringA
Of my livingA
My death wishingA
Both early and lateC
-
InfortunateC
Is so my fateC
That wot ye whatC
Out of measureD
My life I hateC
Thus desperateC
In such poor estateC
Do I endureE
-
Of other cureE
Am I not sureE
Thus to endureE
Is hard certainF
Such is my ureG
I you ensureE
What creatureD
May have more painH
-
My truth so plainH
Is taken in vainH
And great disdainH
In remembranceI
Yet I full fainH
Would me complainH
Me to abstainH
From this penanceI
-
But in substanceI
None alleggeanceI
Of my grievanceI
Can I not findC
Right so my chanceI
With displeasanceI
Doth me advanceI
And thus an endC

Geoffrey Chaucer
