Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHGH IJIJ KLKL MNMNTo fair Fidele's grassy tomb | A |
Soft maids and village hinds shall bring | B |
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom | A |
And rifle all the breathing Spring | B |
- | |
No wailing ghost shall dare appear | C |
To vex with shrieks this quiet grove | D |
But shepherd lads assemble here | E |
And melting virgins own their love | F |
- | |
No wither'd witch shall here be seen | G |
No goblins lead their nightly crew | H |
The female fays shall haunt the green | G |
And dress thy grave with pearly dew | H |
- | |
The redbreast oft at evening hours | I |
Shall kindly lend his little aid | J |
With hoary moss and gather'd flowers | I |
To deck the ground where thou art laid | J |
- | |
When howling winds and beating rain | K |
In tempests shake the sylvan cell | L |
Or 'midst the chase on every plain | K |
The tender thought on thee shall dwell | L |
- | |
Each lonely scene shall thee restore | M |
For thee the tear be duly shed | N |
Beloved till life can charm no more | M |
And mourn'd till Pity's self be dead | N |
