Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEEAs in the midst of battle there is room | A |
nbsp nbsp nbsp For thoughts of love and in foul sin for mirth | B |
nbsp nbsp nbsp As gossips whisper of a trinket's worth | B |
Spied by the death bed's flickering candle gloom | A |
As in the crevices of Caesar's tomb | A |
nbsp nbsp nbsp The sweet herbs flourish on a little earth | B |
nbsp nbsp nbsp So in this great disaster of our birth | B |
We can be happy and forget our doom | A |
- | |
For morning with a ray of tenderest joy | C |
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gilding the iron heaven hides the truth | D |
And evening gently woos us to employ | C |
nbsp nbsp nbsp Our grief in idle catches Such is youth | D |
Till from that summer's trance we wake to find | E |
Despair before us vanity behind | E |
