The Convent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| If chance some pensive stranger hither led | A |
| His bosom glowing from majestic views | B |
| Temple and tower 'mid the bright landscape's hues | B |
| Should ask who sleeps beneath this lowly bed | A |
| A maid of sorrow To the cloistered scene | C |
| Unknown and beautiful a mourner came | D |
| Seeking with unseen tears to quench the flame | D |
| Of hapless love yet was her look serene | C |
| As the pale moonlight in the midnight aisle | E |
| Her voice was gentle and a charm could lend | F |
| Like that which spoke of a departed friend | F |
| And a meek sadness sat upon her smile | E |
| Now far removed from every earthly ill | G |
| Her woes are buried and her heart is still | G |
