The Song Of Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJ| By the walk of the willows I pour'd out my theme | A |
| The breath of the evening scarce dimpled the stream | A |
| By the waters I stood like an image of Woe | B |
| And my tears like the tide seem'd to tremble and flow | B |
| - | |
| Ye green scatter'd reeds that half lean to the wave | C |
| In your plaintive your musical sighs could ye save | C |
| But one note of my charmer to soften my doom | D |
| I would stay till these willows should arch me a tomb | D |
| - | |
| For ye know when I pour'd out my soul on the lute | E |
| How she hung down her head so expressively mute | E |
| From my hand she would take it still breathing my pain | F |
| She would touch it return it and smile at the strain | F |
| - | |
| Ye wild blooming flow'rs that enamel this brink | G |
| Like me could ye feel and like me could ye think | G |
| How sadly would droop ev'ry beautiful leaf | H |
| How soon would your sweetness be wasted with grief | H |
| - | |
| She is gone in a cloud like the star of the night | I |
| She has left me heart broken to mourn at her flight | I |
| To think of the hours she endear'd by her love | J |
| To sigh till again I shall join her above | J |
