Sorrows For A Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHII| Ye brown old oaks that spread the silent wood | A |
| How soothing sweet your stillness used to be | B |
| And still could bless when wrapt in musing mood | C |
| But now confusion suits the best to me | B |
| Is it for love the breezes seem to say | D |
| That you forsake our woodland silence here | E |
| Is it for love you roam so far away | D |
| From these still shades you valu'd once so dear | F |
| No breezes no I answer with a sigh | G |
| Love never could so much my bosom grieve | H |
| Turnhill my friend alas so soon to die | G |
| That is the grief which presses me to leave | H |
| Though noise can't heal it may some balm bestow | I |
| But silence rankles in the wounds of woe | I |
