Tear-drop, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DEFF GHAA| Wae is my heart and the tear's in my e'e | A |
| Lang lang Joy's been a stranger to me | A |
| Forsaken and friendless my burden I bear | B |
| And the sweet voice o' Pity ne'er sounds in my ear | C |
| - | |
| Love thou hast pleasures and deep hae I lov'd | D |
| Love thou hast sorrows and sair hae I prov'd | E |
| But this bruised heart that now bleeds in my breast | F |
| I can feel by its throbbings will soon be at rest | F |
| - | |
| Of if I were where happy I hae been | G |
| Down by yon stream and yon bonie castle green | H |
| For there he is wand'ring and musing on me | A |
| Wha wad soon dry the tear frae his Phillis' e'e | A |
