Love And Hope. (swiss Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCE FGFFG HIHHJ KAKKA LDLME| At 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 |
