To S. F. S. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCE| They say that lonely sorrows do not chance | A |
| More gently I think sorrows together go | B |
| A new one joins the funeral gliding slow | B |
| With less of jar than when it breaks the dance | A |
| Grief swages grief and joy doth joy enhance | A |
| Nature is generous to her children so | B |
| And were they quick to spy the flowers that blow | B |
| As quick to feel the sharp edged stones that lance | A |
| The foot that must walk naked in life's way | C |
| Blest by the roadside lily free from fear | D |
| Oftener than hurt by dash of flinty spear | D |
| They would walk upright bold and earnest gay | C |
| And when the soft night closed the weary day | C |
| Would sleep like those that far off music hear | E |
