Let Us Be Merry Before We Go Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBACDC EDADECDC| If sadly thinking with spirits sinking | A |
| Could more than drinking my cares compose | B |
| A cure for sorrow from sighs I'd borrow | C |
| And hope to morrow would end my woes | B |
| But as in wailing there's nought availing | A |
| And Death unfailing will strike the blow | C |
| Then for that reason and for a season | D |
| Let us be merry before we go | C |
| - | |
| To joy a stranger a wayworn ranger | E |
| In every danger my course I've run | D |
| Now hope all ending and death befriending | A |
| His last aid lending my cares are done | D |
| No more a rover or hapless lover | E |
| My griefs are over my glass runs low | C |
| Then for that reason and for a season | D |
| Let us be merry before we go | C |
