Two Sisters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFH IJIJ KLML| Well may you sit within and fond of grief | A |
| Look in each other's face and melt in tears | B |
| Well may you shun all counsel all relief | A |
| Oh she was great in mind tho' young in years | C |
| - | |
| Chang'd is that lovely countenance which shed | D |
| Light when she spoke and kindled sweet surprise | E |
| As o'er her frame each warm emotion spread | D |
| Play'd round her lips and sparkled in her eyes | E |
| - | |
| Those lips so pure that mov'd but to persuade | F |
| Still to the last enliven'd and endear'd | G |
| Those eyes at once her secret soul convey'd | F |
| And ever beam'd delight when you appear'd | H |
| - | |
| Yet has she fled the life of bliss below | I |
| That youthful Hope in bright perspective drew | J |
| False were the tints false as the feverish glow | I |
| That o'er her burning cheek Distemper threw | J |
| - | |
| And now in joy she dwells in glory moves | K |
| Glory and joy reserv'd for you to share | L |
| Far far more blest in blessing those she loves | M |
| Than they alas unconscious of her care | L |
