Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCDC EFEGE| I visited the place where we last met | A |
| Nothing was changed the gardens were well tended | B |
| The fountains sprayed their usual steady jet | A |
| There was no sign that anything had ended | B |
| And nothing to instruct me to forget | A |
| - | |
| The thoughtless birds that shook out of the trees | C |
| Singing an ecstasy I could not share | D |
| Played cunning in my thoughts Surely in these | C |
| Pleasures there could not be a pain to bear | D |
| Or any discord shake the level breeze | C |
| - | |
| It was because the place was just the same | E |
| That made your absence seem a savage force | F |
| For under all the gentleness there came | E |
| An earthquake tremor Fountain birds and grass | G |
| Were shaken by my thinking of your name | E |
