One Happy Moment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCC DEFFGGFF| No no poor suff'ring Heart no Change endeavour | A |
| Choose to sustain the smart rather than leave her | A |
| My ravish'd eyes behold such charms about her | A |
| I can die with her but not live without her | A |
| One tender Sigh of hers to see me languish | B |
| Will more than pay the price of my past anguish | B |
| Beware O cruel Fair how you smile on me | C |
| 'Twas a kind look of yours that has undone me | C |
| - | |
| Love has in store for me one happy minute | D |
| And She will end my pain who did begin it | E |
| Then no day void of bliss or pleasure leaving | F |
| Ages shall slide away without perceiving | F |
| Cupid shall guard the door the more to please us | G |
| And keep out Time and Death when they would seize us | G |
| Time and Death shall depart and say in flying | F |
| Love has found out a way to live by dying | F |
