How Happy, Once Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFFF GHGHIJIJAAA| How happy once tho' winged with sighs | A |
| My moments flew along | B |
| While looking on those smiling eyes | A |
| And listening to thy magic song | B |
| But vanished now like summer dreams | C |
| Those moments smile no more | D |
| For me that eye no longer beams | C |
| That song for me is o'er | E |
| Mine the cold brow | F |
| That speaks thy altered vow | F |
| While others feel thy sunshine now | F |

| Oh could I change my love like thee | G |
| One hope might yet be mine | H |
| Some other eyes as bright to see | G |
| And hear a voice as sweet as thine | H |
| But never never can this heart | I |
| Be waked to life again | J |
| With thee it lost its vital part | I |
| And withered then | J |
| Cold its pulse lies | A |
| And mute are even its sighs | A |
| All other grief it now defies | A |
