A Farewell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF| I go down from the hill in gladness and half with a pain I depart | A |
| Where the Mother with gentlest breathing made music on lip and in heart | A |
| For I know that my childhood is over a call comes out of the vast | B |
| And the love that I had in the old time like beauty in twilight is past | B |
| - | |
| I am fired by a Danaan whisper of battles afar in the world | C |
| And my thought is no longer of peace for the banners in dream are unfurled | C |
| And I pass from the council of stars and of hills to a life that is new | D |
| And I bid to you stars and you mountains a tremulous long adieu | D |
| - | |
| I will come once again as a master who played here as a child in my dawn | E |
| I will enter the heart of the hills where the gods of the old world are gone | E |
| And will war like the bright Hound of Ulla with princes of earth and of sky | F |
| For my dream is to conquer the heavens and battle for kingship on high | F |
