Song: Oh The Tear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEAA EEBAOh the tear is in my eye and my heart it is breaking | A |
Thou hast fled from me Connor and left me forsaken | B |
Bright and warm was our morning but soon has it faded | C |
For I gave thee a true heart and thou hast betrayed it | D |
- | |
Thy footsteps I followed in darkness and danger | E |
From the home of my love to the land of the stranger | E |
Thou wert mine through the tempest the blight and the burning | A |
Could I think thou wouldst change when the morn was returning | A |
- | |
Yet peace to thy heart though from mine it must sever | E |
May she love thee as I loved alone and for ever | E |
I may weep for thy loss but my faith is unshaken | B |
And the heart thou hast widowed will bless thee in breaking | A |
