Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HICI JKLM CNDN OPQP RSTS

I loved a child as we should loveA
Each other everywhereB
I cared more for his happinessC
Than I dreaded my own despairB
-
An angel asked me to give himD
My whole life's dearest costE
And in adding mine to his treasuresF
I knew they could never be lostG
-
To his heart I gave the goldH
Though little my own had knownI
To his eyes what tendernessC
From youth in mine had grownI
-
I gave him all my buoyantJ
Hope for my future yearsK
I gave him whatever melodyL
My voice had steeped in tearsM
-
Upon the shore of darknessC
His drifted body liesN
He is dead and I stand beside himD
With his beauty in my eyesN
-
I am like those withered petalsO
We see on a winter dayP
That gladly gave their colorQ
In the happy summer awayP
-
I am glad I lavished my worthiestR
To fashion his greater worthS
Since he will live in heavenT
I shall lie content in the earthS
