Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBDBEFEFGGSweet wreck of loveliness alas how soon | A |
The sad brief summer of thy joys hath fled | B |
How sorrows Friendship for thy hapless doom | C |
Thy beauty faded and thy hopes all dead | B |
Oh 'twas that beauty's power which first destroy'd | D |
Thy mind's serenity its charms but led | B |
The faithless friend that thy pure love enjoy'd | D |
To tear the beauteous blossom from its bed | B |
How reason shudders at thy frenzied air | E |
To see thee smile with fancy's dreams possess'd | F |
Or shrink the frozen image of despair | E |
Or love enraptured chant thy griefs to rest | F |
Oh cease that mournful voice affliction's child | G |
My heart but bleeds to hear thy musings wild | G |
