Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEE FFDD GGHH IIJJ DDKKIn vain sweet Maid for me you bring | A |
The first blown blossoms of the spring | A |
My tearful cheek you wipe in vain | B |
And bid its pale rose bloom again | C |
- | |
In vain unconscious did I say | D |
Oh you alone these tears can stay | D |
Alone the pale rose can renew | E |
Whose sunshine is a smile from you | E |
- | |
Yet not in friendship's smile it lives | F |
Too cold the gifts that friendship gives | F |
The beam that warms a winter's day | D |
Plays coldly in the lap of May | D |
- | |
You bid my sad heart cease to swell | G |
But will you if its tale I tell | G |
Nor turn away nor frown the while | H |
But smile as you were wont to smile | H |
- | |
Then bring me not the blossoms young | I |
That erst on Flora's forehead hung | I |
But round thy radiant temples twine | J |
The flowers whose flaunting mocks at mine | J |
- | |
Give me nor pinks nor pansies gay | D |
Nor violets fading fast away | D |
Nor myrtle rue nor rosemary | K |
But give oh give thyself to me | K |
