Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKELG MNONPEQGWhat bitter sorrow courses down | A |
Yon mourner s faded cheek | B |
Those scalding drops betray a grief | C |
Within too full to speak | B |
Outspoken words cannot express | D |
The pangs the pains of years | E |
They re ne er so deep or eloquent | F |
As are those silent tears | G |
Here is a wound that in the breast | H |
Must canker hid n from sight | I |
Though all without seems sunny day | J |
Within Tis ever night | I |
Yet sometimes from this secret source | K |
The gloomy truth appears | E |
The wind s dark dungeon must have vent | L |
If but in silent tears | G |
- | |
The world may deem from outward looks | M |
That heart is hard and cold | N |
But oh could they the mantle lift | O |
What sorrows would be told | N |
Then only then the truth would show | P |
Which most the bosom sears | E |
The pain portrayed by burning words | Q |
Or that by silent tears | G |
