Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCE FGFFG HIHHJ KAKKA LDLME

At morn beside yon summer seaA
Young Hope and Love reclinedB
But scarce had noon tide come when heA
Into his bark leapt smilinglyA
And left poor Hope behindB
-
I go said Love to sail awhileC
Across this sunny mainD
And then so sweet his parting smileC
That Hope who never dreamt of guileC
Believed he'd come againE
-
She lingered there till evening's beamF
Along the waters layG
And o'er the sands in thoughtful dreamF
Oft traced his name which still the streamF
As often washed awayG
-
At length a sail appears in sightH
And toward the maiden movesI
'Tis Wealth that comes and gay and brightH
His golden bark reflects the lightH
But ah it is not Love'sJ
-
Another sail 'twas Friendship showedK
Her night lamp o'er the seaA
And calm the light that lamp bestowedK
But Love had lights that warmer glowedK
And where alas was heA
-
Now fast around the sea and shoreL
Night threw her darkling chainD
The sunny sails were seen no moreL
Hope's morning dreams of bliss were o'erM
Love never came againE
