Lines.-why Look'd I On That Fatal Line Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIHI| Why look'd I on that fatal line | A |
| Why did I pray that page to see | B |
| Too well I knew no word of thine | A |
| Was fraught with aught but pain to me | B |
| I should have known I should have thought | C |
| The fleeting hope would soon decay | D |
| So oft the gleam of joy it brought | C |
| Has only shone to pass away | D |
| Thy hand had traced the words I read | E |
| And in that dream I wandered on | F |
| Forgot their cherish'd spell was fled | E |
| Thy vows no more thy fondness gone | G |
| I lived whole years of joy again | H |
| I dwelt on each recorded vow | I |
| Oh tender was their meaning then | H |
| Alas they have no meaning now | I |
