Thou Bidst Me Sing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHIH| Thou bidst me sing the lay I sung to thee | A |
| In other days ere joy had left this brow | B |
| But think tho' still unchanged the notes may be | A |
| How different feels the heart that breathes them now | B |
| The rose thou wearst to night is still the same | C |
| We saw this morning on its stem so gay | D |
| But ah that dew of dawn that breath which came | C |
| Like life o'er all its leaves hath past away | D |
| - | |
| Since first that music touched thy heart and mine | E |
| How many a joy and pain o'er both have past | F |
| The joy a light too precious long to shine | E |
| The pain a cloud whose shadows always last | F |
| And tho' that lay would like the voice of home | G |
| Breathe o'er our ear 'twould waken now a sigh | H |
| Ah not as then for fancied woes to come | I |
| But sadder far for real bliss gone by | H |
