The Two Locks Of Hair. From The German Of Pfeizer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CACA DEDF AGAG HIJI KAKA AAAA| A Youth light hearted and content | A |
| I wander through the world | B |
| Here Arab like is pitched my tent | A |
| And straight again is furled | A |
| - | |
| Yet oft I dream that once a wife | C |
| Close in my heart was locked | A |
| And in the sweet repose of life | C |
| A blessed child I rocked | A |
| - | |
| I wake Away that dream away | D |
| Too long did it remain | E |
| So long that both by night and day | D |
| It ever comes again | F |
| - | |
| The end lies ever in my thought | A |
| To a grave so cold and deep | G |
| The mother beautiful was brought | A |
| Then dropt the child asleep | G |
| - | |
| But now the dream is wholly o'er | H |
| I bathe mine eyes and see | I |
| And wander through the world once more | J |
| A youth so light and free | I |
| - | |
| Two locks and they are wondrous fair | K |
| Left me that vision mild | A |
| The brown is from the mother's hair | K |
| The blond is from the child | A |
| - | |
| And when I see that lock of gold | A |
| Pale grows the evening red | A |
| And when the dark lock I behold | A |
| I wish that I were dead | A |
