Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GHGH IJIJGo then if she whose shade thou art | A |
No more will let thee soothe my pain | B |
Yet tell her it has cost this heart | A |
Some pangs to give thee back again | C |
- | |
Tell her the smile was not so dear | D |
With which she made the semblance mine | E |
As bitter is the burning tear | F |
With which I now the gift resign | E |
- | |
Yet go and could she still restore | G |
As some exchange for taking thee | H |
The tranquil look which first I wore | G |
When her eyes found me calm and free | H |
- | |
Could she give back the careless flow | I |
The spirit that my heart then knew | J |
Yet no 'tis vain go picture go | I |
Smile at me once and then adieu | J |
