Weep Not For Those. (air.--avison.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDABAB EFEFGHGHIJIJ| Weep not for those whom the veil of the tomb | A |
| In life's happy morning hath hid from our eyes | B |
| Ere sin threw a blight o'er the spirit's young bloom | A |
| Or earth had profaned what was born for the skies | B |
| Death chilled the fair fountain ere sorrow had stained it | C |
| 'Twas frozen in all the pure light of its course | D |
| And but sleeps till the sunshine of Heaven has unchained it | C |
| To water that Eden where first was its source | D |
| Weep not for those whom the veil of the tomb | A |
| In life's happy morning hath hid from our eyes | B |
| Ere sin threw a blight o'er the spirit's young bloom | A |
| Or earth had profaned what was born for the skies | B |
| - | |
| Mourn not for her the young Bride of the Vale | E |
| Our gayest and loveliest lost to us now | F |
| Ere life's early lustre had time to grow pale | E |
| And the garland of Love was yet fresh on her brow | F |
| Oh then was her moment dear spirit for flying | G |
| From this gloomy world while its gloom was unknown | H |
| And the wild hymns she warbled so sweetly in dying | G |
| Were echoed in Heaven by lips like her own | H |
| Weep not for her in her springtime she flew | I |
| To that land where the wings of the soul are unfurled | J |
| And now like a star beyond evening's cold dew | I |
| Looks radiantly down on the tears of this world | J |
