Written In A Lady's Album Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GAGA| Grant me I cried some spell of art | A |
| To turn with all a lover's care | B |
| That spotless page my Eva's heart | A |
| And write my burning wishes there | B |
| - | |
| But Love by faithless Laia taught | C |
| How frail is woman's holiest vow | D |
| Look'd down while grace attempered thought | C |
| Sate serious on his baby brow | D |
| - | |
| Go blot her album cried the sage | E |
| There none but bards a place may claim | F |
| But woman's heart's a worthless page | E |
| Where every fool may write his name | F |
| - | |
| Until by time or fate decayed | G |
| That line and leaf shall never part | A |
| Ah who can tell how soon shall fade | G |
| The lines of love from woman's heart | A |
