To Lydia, On Her Birth-day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHHBless'd be the hour that gave my LYDIA birth | A |
The day be sacred 'mid each varying year | B |
How oft the name recals thy spotless worth | A |
And joys departed still to memory dear | B |
If matchless friendship constancy and love | C |
Have power to charm or one sad grief beguile | D |
'Tis thine the gloom of sorrow to remove | E |
And on the tearful cheek imprint a smile | D |
May every after season to thee bring | F |
New joys to cheer life's dark eventful way | G |
Till time shall close thee in his pond'rous wing | F |
And angels waft thee to eternal day | G |
Loved friend farewell thy name this heart shall fill | H |
Till memory sinks and all its griefs are still | H |
