Sonnet -- The Tear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACAD EFEFAA| AH LUST'ROUS GEM bright emblem of the Heart | A |
| That nobly scorns a borrow'd ray to share | B |
| Whose gentle pow'r can break the spells of care | B |
| And sooth with lenient balm the keenest smart | A |
| - | |
| Whether from holy FRIENDSHIP'S vow profan'd | A |
| Or the dire frenzy of unpitied LOVE | C |
| Whether from cherish'd passion unrestrain'd | A |
| Or the worst pang the jealous mind can prove | D |
| - | |
| Yet if sad mem'ry ling'ring o'er past woe | E |
| Calls THEE soft trembler from thy crystal throne | F |
| And sternly bids thy pearly incence flow | E |
| E'en when the treach'rous phantom HOPE is flown | F |
| How fickle are the gifts thy rays impart | A |
| At once the BALM and POISON OF THE HEART | A |
