To A Golden Heart That He Wore Round His Neck. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BA B CC DE D E FGG F H

Oh thou token loved of joys now perish'dA
-
That I still wear from my neck suspendedB
Art thou stronger than our spirit bond so cherish'dA
-
Or canst thou prolong love's days untimely endedB
-
Lily I fly from thee I still am doom'd to rangeC
Thro' countries strangeC
-
Thro' distant vales and woods link'd on to theeD
Ah Lily's heart could surely never fallE
-
So soon away from meD
-
As when a bird bath broken from his thrallE
-
And seeks the forest greenF
Proof of imprisonment he bears behind himG
A morsel of the thread once used to bind himG
-
The free born bird of old no more is seenF
-
For he another's prey bath beenH
