Written At A Convent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| If chance some pensive stranger hither led | A |
| His bosom glowing from majestic views | B |
| The gorgeous dome or the proud landscape's hues | B |
| Should ask who sleeps beneath this lowly bed | A |
| 'Tis poor Matilda To the cloister'd scene | C |
| A mourner beauteous and unknown she came | D |
| To shed her tears unseen and quench the flame | D |
| Of fruitless love yet was her look serene | C |
| As the pale midnight on the moon light isle | E |
| Her voice was soft which e'en a charm could lend | F |
| Like that which spoke of a departed friend | F |
| And a meek sadness sat upon her smile | E |
| Now here remov'd from ev'ry human ill | G |
| Her woes are buried and her heart is still | G |
