To Miss Tempe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF EGEG EHEI| Bless'd hope when Tempe takes her last long flight | A |
| And leaves her lass lorn lover to complain | B |
| Like Luna mantling o'er the brow of night | A |
| Thy glowing wing dispels the gloom of pain | B |
| - | |
| Yes wondrous hope when Tempe sails afar | C |
| Thy vital lamp remains to burn behind | D |
| While by gone pleasure like a setting star | C |
| Rejects her glory o'er the twilight mind | D |
| - | |
| Thy glowing wing was never spread to tire | E |
| Expanded o'er the mansion of the brave | F |
| To fan and set the heaving breast on fire | E |
| That soars in triumph from affliction's wave | F |
| - | |
| Then Tempe dart along the ocean drear | E |
| Hope yet forbids my cheerful soul to weep | G |
| But marks thy passage with affection's tear | E |
| And hails thee on the bosom of the deep | G |
| - | |
| Farewell since thou wilt leave thy native shore | E |
| I smile to think I am not left alone | H |
| Auspicious hope shall yet my peace restore | E |
| When thou art from the beach forever gone | I |
