Love And Hope. (swiss Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCE FGFFG HIHHJ KAKKA LDLMEAt morn beside yon summer sea | A |
Young Hope and Love reclined | B |
But scarce had noon tide come when he | A |
Into his bark leapt smilingly | A |
And left poor Hope behind | B |
- | |
I go said Love to sail awhile | C |
Across this sunny main | D |
And then so sweet his parting smile | C |
That Hope who never dreamt of guile | C |
Believed he'd come again | E |
- | |
She lingered there till evening's beam | F |
Along the waters lay | G |
And o'er the sands in thoughtful dream | F |
Oft traced his name which still the stream | F |
As often washed away | G |
- | |
At length a sail appears in sight | H |
And toward the maiden moves | I |
'Tis Wealth that comes and gay and bright | H |
His golden bark reflects the light | H |
But ah it is not Love's | J |
- | |
Another sail 'twas Friendship showed | K |
Her night lamp o'er the sea | A |
And calm the light that lamp bestowed | K |
But Love had lights that warmer glowed | K |
And where alas was he | A |
- | |
Now fast around the sea and shore | L |
Night threw her darkling chain | D |
The sunny sails were seen no more | L |
Hope's morning dreams of bliss were o'er | M |
Love never came again | E |
