Canzonet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAA ACACAAA| Maiden wrap thy mantle round thee | A |
| Cold the rain beats on thy breast | B |
| Why should Horror's voice astound thee | A |
| Death can bid the wretched rest | B |
| All under the tree | A |
| Thy bed may be | A |
| And thou mayst slumber peacefully | A |
| - | |
| Maiden once gay pleasure knew thee | A |
| Now thy cheeks are pale and deep | C |
| Love has been a felon to thee | A |
| Yet poor maiden do not weep | C |
| There's rest for thee | A |
| All under the tree | A |
| Where thou wilt sleep most peacefully | A |
