Parted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCDDC EEFFE GGHHG IIJJI

Farewell to one now silenced quiteA
Sent out of hearing out of sightA
My friend of friends whom I shall missB
He is not banished though for thisB
Nor he nor sadness nor delightA
-
Though I shall talk with him no moreC
A low voice sounds upon the shoreC
He must not watch my resting placeD
But who shall drive a mournful faceD
From the sad winds about my doorC
-
I shall not hear his voice complainE
But who shall stop the patient rainE
His tears must not disturb my heartF
But who shall change the years and partF
The world from any thought of painE
-
Although my life is left so dimG
The morning crowns the mountain rimG
Joy is not gone from summer skiesH
Nor innocence from children's eyesH
And all of these things are part of himG
-
He is not banished for the showersI
Yet wake this green warm earth of oursI
How can the summer but be sweetJ
I shall not have him at my feetJ
And yet my feet are on the flowersI
