Stanzas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCDAA EEBBFGFGAA AAAAHIHJAA| WHEN fragrant gales and summer show'rs | A |
| Call'd forth the sweetly scented flow'rs | A |
| When ripen'd sheaves of golden grain | B |
| Strew'd their rich treasures o'er the plain | B |
| When the full grape did nectar yield | C |
| In tepid drops of purple hue | D |
| When the thick grove and thirsty field | C |
| Drank the soft show'r and bloom'd a new | D |
| O then my joyful heart did say | A |
| Sure this is Nature's Holy day | A |
| - | |
| But when the yellow leaf did fade | E |
| And every gentle flow'r decay'd | E |
| When whistling winds and drenching rain | B |
| Swept with rude force the naked plain | B |
| When o'er the desolated scene | F |
| I saw the drifted snow descend | G |
| And sadness darken'd all the green | F |
| And Nature's triumphs seem'd to end | G |
| O then my mourning heart did say | A |
| Thus Youth shall vanish Life decay | A |
| - | |
| When Beauty blooms and Fortune smiles | A |
| And wealth the easy breast beguiles | A |
| When pleasure from her downy wings | A |
| Her soft bewitching incense flings | A |
| THEN Friends look kind and round the heart | H |
| The brightest flames of passion move | I |
| False Flatt'ry's soothing strains impart | H |
| The warmest Friendship fondest Love | J |
| But when capricious FORTUNE flies | A |
| Then FRIENDSHIP fades and PASSION dies | A |
