Should Those Fond Hopes. (portuguese Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGFHFH| Should those fond hopes e'er forsake thee | A |
| Which now so sweetly thy heart employ | B |
| Should the cold world come to wake thee | A |
| From all thy visions of youth and joy | B |
| Should the gay friends for whom thou wouldst banish | C |
| Him who once thought thy young heart his own | D |
| All like spring birds falsely vanish | C |
| And leave thy winter unheeded and lone | D |
| - | |
| Oh 'tis then that he thou hast slighted | E |
| Would come to cheer thee when all seem'd o'er | F |
| Then the truant lost and blighted | E |
| Would to his bosom be taken once more | G |
| Like that dear bird we both can remember | F |
| Who left us while summer shone round | H |
| But when chilled by bleak December | F |
| On our threshold a welcome still found | H |
