Lines On The Death Of Sir William Russel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFFGGHIJJKLCDMN OO| Doomed as I am in solitude to waste | A |
| The present moments and regret the past | B |
| Deprived of every joy I valued most | C |
| My friend torn from me and my mistress lost | D |
| Call not this gloom I wear this anxious mien | E |
| The dull effect of humor or of spleen | E |
| Still still I mourn with each returning day | F |
| Him snatch'd by fate in early youth away | F |
| And her thro' tedious years of doubt and pain | G |
| Fix'd in her choice and faithful but in vain | G |
| O prone to pity generous and sincere | H |
| Whose eye ne'er yet refus'd the wretch a tear | I |
| Whose heart the real claim of friendship knows | J |
| Nor thinks a lover's are but fancied woes | J |
| See me ere yet my destin'd course half done | K |
| Cast forth a wand'rer on a world unknown | L |
| See me neglected on the world's rude coast | C |
| Each dear companion of my voyage lost | D |
| Nor ask why clouds of sorrow shade my brow | M |
| And ready tears wait only leave to flow | N |
| Why all that soothes a heart from anguish free | O |
| All that delights the happy palls with me | O |
