Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD ACAC AEAE| By the sad waters of separation | A |
| Where we have wandered by divers ways | B |
| I have but the shadow and imitation | A |
| Of the old memorial days | B |
| - | |
| In music I have no consolation | A |
| No roses are pale enough for me | C |
| The sound of the waters of separation | A |
| Surpasseth roses and melody | C |
| - | |
| By the sad waters of separation | A |
| Dimly I hear from an hidden place | D |
| The sigh of mine ancient adoration | A |
| Hardly can I remember your face | D |
| - | |
| If you be dead no proclamation | A |
| Sprang to me over the waste gray sea | C |
| Living the waters of separation | A |
| Sever for ever your soul from me | C |
| - | |
| No man knoweth our desolation | A |
| Memory pales of the old delight | E |
| While the sad waters of separation | A |
| Bear us on to the ultimate night | E |
