The Tyrant Sway Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDB EBEBFFB| The heart that owns thy tyrant sway | A |
| Whate'er its hopes may be | B |
| Is like a bark that drifts away | A |
| Upon a shoreless sea | B |
| No compass left to guide her on | C |
| Upon the surge she's tempest torn | D |
| And such is life to me | B |
| - | |
| And what is life when love is fled | E |
| The world unshared by thee | B |
| I'd rather slumber with the dead | E |
| Than such a waif to be | B |
| The bark that by no compass steers | F |
| Is lost which way soe'er she veers | F |
| And such is life to me | B |
