To The Same. (lines Addressed To Miss Theodora Jane Cowper.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGHIIFFJJKL| How quick the change from joy to woe | A |
| How chequer'd is our lot below | A |
| Seldom we view the prospect fair | B |
| Dark clouds of sorrow pain and care | B |
| Some pleasing intervals between | C |
| Scowl over more than half the scene | C |
| Last week with Delia gentle maid | D |
| Far hence in happier fields I stray'd | D |
| Five suns successive rose and set | E |
| And saw no monarch in his state | F |
| Wrapt in the blaze of majesty | G |
| So free from every care as I | H |
| Next day the scene was overcast | I |
| Such day till then I never pass'd | I |
| For on that day relentless fate | F |
| Delia and I must separate | F |
| Yet ere we look'd our last farewell | J |
| From her dear lips this comfort fell | J |
| Fear not that time where'er we rove | K |
| Or absence shall abate my love | L |
