Sorrows For A Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHIIYe 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 |
