Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDEFFFE CCCGHHHGA weedling wild on lonely lea | A |
My evening rambles chanc'd to see | A |
And much the weedling tempted me | A |
To crop its tender flower | B |
Expos'd to wind and heavy rain | C |
Its head bow'd lowly on the plain | C |
And silently it seem'd in pain | C |
Of life's endanger'd hour | B |
- | |
And wilt thou bid my bloom decay | D |
And crop my flower and me betray | D |
And cast my injur'd sweets away | D |
Its silence seemly sigh'd | E |
A moment's idol of thy mind | F |
And is a stranger so unkind | F |
To leave a shameful root behind | F |
Bereft of all its pride | E |
- | |
And so it seemly did complain | C |
And beating fell the heavy rain | C |
And low it droop'd upon the plain | C |
To fate resign'd to fall | G |
My heart did melt at its decline | H |
And Come said I thou gem divine | H |
My fate shall stand the storm with thine | H |
So took the root and all | G |
