I Have Longed To Move Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACADEFG HIJKLEFFBB| I have longed to move away | A |
| From the hissing of the spent lie | B |
| And the old terrors' continual cry | B |
| Growing more terrible as the day | A |
| Goes over the hill into the deep sea | C |
| I have longed to move away | A |
| From the repetition of salutes | D |
| For there are ghosts in the air | E |
| And ghostly echoes on paper | F |
| And the thunder of calls and notes | G |
| - | |
| I have longed to move away but am afraid | H |
| Some life yet unspent might explode | I |
| Out of the old lie burning on the ground | J |
| And crackling into the air leave me half blind | K |
| Neither by night's ancient fear | L |
| The parting of hat from hair | E |
| Pursed lips at the receiver | F |
| Shall I fall to death's feather | F |
| By these I would not care to die | B |
| Half convention and half lie | B |
