The Huguenot Lovers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGF CHCHIJAK| Sorrowful pleading on her face is written | A |
| With love commingled and my heart throbs fast | B |
| Flooded with currents of a deep emotion | A |
| Stirred by the memory of that awful past | B |
| Note the sad gaze of him who bends above her | C |
| What say his eyes in answer to her own | D |
| What did he think as tenderly he kissed her | C |
| What was the meaning of his whispered tone | D |
| Spoke he of honor's claim poor love's outweighing | E |
| Or did her circling arms so well enfold | F |
| That the white kerchief wearing badge of safety | G |
| He passed the lurking foe with spirit bold | F |
| - | |
| Ah they are vanished now the maid and lover | C |
| Their history the wisest cannot tell | H |
| Mayhap upon that night of cruel slaughter | C |
| Eager to meet the zealot's hate he fell | H |
| Mayhap in some fair corner of the Kingdom | I |
| Under the gentler rule of brave Navarre | J |
| They showed the kerchief to their children's children | A |
| And told the story of the unholy war | K |
