Lament Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIJKLL| Ursula winsome child I would that I | A |
| Had never had thee if thou wert to die | A |
| So early For with lasting grief I pay | B |
| Now thou hast left me for thy sweet brief stay | B |
| Thou didst delude me like a dream by night | C |
| That shines in golden fullness on the sight | C |
| Then vanishes and to the man awake | D |
| Leaves only of its treasures much heartbreak | D |
| So hast thou done to me beloved cheat | E |
| Thou madest with high hope my heart to beat | E |
| And then didst hurry off and bear with thee | F |
| All of the gladness thou once gavest me | F |
| 'Tis half my heart I lack through this thy taking | G |
| And what is left is good for naught but aching | G |
| Stonecutters set me up a carven stone | H |
| And let this sad inscription run thereon | I |
| Ursula Kochanowski lieth here | J |
| Her father's sorrow and her father's dear | K |
| For heedless Death hath acted here crisscross | L |
| She should have mourned my death not I her loss | L |
