Influence Of Time On Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECFGGFHH| O TIME who know'st a lenient hand to lay | A |
| Softest on sorrow's wound and slowly thence | B |
| Lulling to sad repose the weary sense | B |
| Stealest the long forgotten pang away | A |
| On Thee I rest my only hope at last | C |
| And think when thou hast dried the bitter tear | D |
| That flows in vain o'er all my soul held dear | E |
| I may look back on many a sorrow past | C |
| And meet life's peaceful evening with a smile | F |
| As some poor bird at day's departing hour | G |
| Sings in the sunbeam of the transient shower | G |
| Forgetful tho' its wings are wet the while | F |
| Yet ah how much must that poor heart endure | H |
| Which hopes from thee and thee alone a cure | H |
