I'd Mourn The Hopes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC AAAAADAD EFEFAGAG HIJIKLKL| I'd mourn the hopes that leave me | A |
| If thy smiles had left me too | B |
| I'd weep when friends deceive me | A |
| If thou wert like them untrue | B |
| But while I've thee before me | A |
| With heart so warm and eyes so bright | C |
| No clouds can linger o'er me | A |
| That smile turns them all to light | C |
| - | |
| 'Tis not in fate to harm me | A |
| While fate leaves thy love to me | A |
| 'Tis not in joy to charm me | A |
| Unless joy be shared with thee | A |
| One minute's dream about thee | A |
| Were worth a long an endless year | D |
| Of waking bliss without thee | A |
| My own love my only dear | D |
| - | |
| And though the hope be gone love | E |
| That long sparkled o'er our way | F |
| Oh we shall journey on love | E |
| More safely without its ray | F |
| Far better lights shall win me | A |
| Along the path I've yet to roam | G |
| The mind that burns within me | A |
| And pure smiles from thee at home | G |
| - | |
| Thus when the lamp that lighted | H |
| The traveller at first goes out | I |
| He feels awhile benighted | J |
| And looks round in fear and doubt | I |
| But soon the prospect clearing | K |
| By cloudless starlight on he treads | L |
| And thinks no lamp so cheering | K |
| As the light which Heaven sheds | L |
