A Lost Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH DEDE IJIJ KLKM| I meet thy pensive moonlight face | A |
| Thy thrilling voice I hear | B |
| And former hours and scenes retrace | A |
| Too fleeting and too dear | C |
| - | |
| Then sighs and tears flow fast and free | D |
| Though none is nigh to share | E |
| And life has nought beside for me | D |
| So sweet as this despair | E |
| - | |
| There are crush'd hearts that will not break | F |
| And mine methinks is one | G |
| Or thus I should not weep and wake | F |
| And thou to slumber gone | H |
| - | |
| I little thought it thus could be | D |
| In days more sad and fair | E |
| That earth could have a place for me | D |
| And thou no longer there | E |
| - | |
| Yet death cannot our hearts divide | I |
| Or make thee less my own | J |
| Twere sweeter sleeping at thy side | I |
| Than watching here alone | J |
| - | |
| Yet never never can we part | K |
| While Memory holds her reign | L |
| Thine thine is still this wither'd heart | K |
| Till we shall meet again | M |
