Herod's Lament For Mariamne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCB DBDBEBEB FBFBGBGB| Oh Mariamne now for thee | A |
| The heart of which thou bled'st is bleeding | B |
| Revenge is lost in agony | A |
| And wild remorse to rage succeeding | B |
| Oh Mariamne where art thou | C |
| Thou canst not hear my bitter pleading | B |
| Ah could'st thou thou would'st pardon now | C |
| Though Heaven were to my prayer unheeding | B |
| - | |
| And is she dead and did they dare | D |
| Obey my frenzy's jealous raving | B |
| My wrath but doom'd my own despair | D |
| The sword that smote her's o'er me waving | B |
| But thou art cold my murder'd love | E |
| And this dark heart is vainly craving | B |
| For her who soars alone above | E |
| And leaves my soul unworthy saving | B |
| - | |
| She's gone who shared my diadem | F |
| She sunk with her my joys entombing | B |
| I swept that flower from Judah's stem | F |
| Whose leaves for me alone were blooming | B |
| And mine's the guilt and mine the hell | G |
| This bosom's desolation dooming | B |
| And I have earn'd those tortures well | G |
| Which unconsumed are still consuming | B |
