Whene'er I See Those Smiling Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEAFAGWhene'er I see those smiling eyes | A |
So full of hope and joy and light | B |
As if no cloud could ever rise | A |
To dim a heaven so purely bright | B |
I sigh to think how soon that brow | C |
In grief may lose its every ray | D |
And that light heart so joyous now | C |
Almost forget it once was gay | D |
- | |
For time will come with all its blights | A |
The ruin'd hope the friend unkind | E |
And love that leaves where'er it lights | A |
A chill'd or burning heart behind | E |
While youth that now like snow appears | A |
Ere sullied by the darkening rain | F |
When once 'tis touch'd by sorrow's tears | A |
Can never shine so bright again | G |
