Hush, Sweet Lute Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEFGFG| Hush sweet Lute thy songs remind me | A |
| Of past joys now turned to pain | B |
| Of ties that long have ceased to bind me | A |
| But whose burning marks remain | B |
| In each tone some echo falleth | C |
| On my ear of joys gone by | D |
| Every note some dream recalleth | C |
| Of bright hopes but born to die | D |
| - | |
| Yet sweet Lute though pain it bring me | A |
| Once more let thy numbers thrill | E |
| Tho' death were in the strain they sing me | A |
| I must woo its anguish still | E |
| Since no time can e'er recover | F |
| Love's sweet light when once 'tis set | G |
| Better to weep such pleasures over | F |
| Than smile o'er any left us yet | G |
