After A Parting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACA DEDED FGFGF| Farewell has long been said I have forgone thee | A |
| I never name thee even | B |
| But how shall I learn virtues and yet shun thee | A |
| For thou art so near Heaven | C |
| That heavenward meditations pause upon thee | A |
| - | |
| Thou dost beset the path to every shrine | D |
| My trembling thoughts discern | E |
| Thy goodness in the good for which I pine | D |
| And if I turn from but one sin I turn | E |
| Unto a smile of thine | D |
| - | |
| How shall I thrust thee apart | F |
| Since all my growth tends to thee night and day | G |
| To thee faith hope and art | F |
| Swift are the currents setting all one way | G |
| They draw my life my life out of my heart | F |
