Lament X Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJFF| My dear delight my Ursula and where | A |
| Art thou departed to what land what sphere | B |
| High o'er the heavens wert thou borne to stand | C |
| One little cherub midst the cherub band | C |
| Or dost thou laugh in Paradise or now | D |
| Upon the Islands of the Blest art thou | D |
| Or in his ferry o'er the gloomy water | E |
| Does Charon bear thee onward little daughter | E |
| And having drunken of forgetfulness | F |
| Art thou unwitting of my sore distress | F |
| Or casting off thy human maiden veil | G |
| Art thou enfeathered in some nightingale | G |
| Or in grim Purgatory must thou stay | H |
| Until some tiniest stain be washed away | H |
| Or hast returned again to where thou wert | I |
| Ere thou wast born to bring me heavy hurt | I |
| Where'er thou art ah pity comfort me | J |
| And if not in thine own entirety | J |
| Yet come before mine eyes a moment's space | F |
| In some sweet dream that shadoweth thy grace | F |
