Time, Hope And Memory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHFIIJFKKBF| I heard a gentle maiden in the spring | A |
| Set her sweet sighs to music and thus sing | A |
| 'Fly through the world and I will follow thee | B |
| Only for looks that may turn back on me | B |
| 'Only for roses that your chance may throw | C |
| Though withered Twill wear them on my brow | D |
| To be a thoughtful fragrance to my brain | E |
| Warm'd with such love that they will bloom again ' | F |
| 'Thy love before thee I must tread behind | G |
| Kissing thy foot prints though to me unkind | G |
| But trust not all her fondness though it seem | H |
| Lest thy true love should rest on a false dream ' | F |
| 'Her face is smiling and her voice is sweet | I |
| But smiles betray and music sings deceit | I |
| And words speak false yet if they welcome prove | J |
| I'll be their echo and repeat their love ' | F |
| 'Only if waken'd to sad truth at last | K |
| The bitterness to come and sweetness past | K |
| When thou art vext then turn again and see | B |
| Thou hast loved Hope but Memory loved thee ' | F |
