Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DD| Your words dropped into my heart like pebbles into a pool | A |
| Rippling around my breast and leaving it melting cool | A |
| - | |
| Your kisses fell sharp on my flesh like dawn dews from the limb | B |
| Of a fruit filled lemon tree when the day is young and dim | B |
| - | |
| But a silence vasty deep oh deeper than all these ties | C |
| Now through the menacing miles brooding between us lies | C |
| - | |
| And more than the songs I sing I await your written word | D |
| To stir my fluent blood as never your presence stirred | D |
