The Debtor Abroad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| Grief for an absent lover husband friend | A |
| Is barely felt before it comes to end | A |
| A score of early consolations serve | B |
| To modify its mouth's dejected curve | B |
| But woes of creditors when debtors flee | C |
| Forever swell the separating sea | C |
| When standing on an alien shore you mark | D |
| The steady course of some intrepid bark | D |
| How sweet to think a tear for you abides | E |
| Not all unuseful in the wave she rides | E |
| That sighs for you commingle in the gale | F |
| Beneficently bellying her sail | F |
