Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD ACAC AEAE

By the sad waters of separationA
Where we have wandered by divers waysB
I have but the shadow and imitationA
Of the old memorial daysB
-
In music I have no consolationA
No roses are pale enough for meC
The sound of the waters of separationA
Surpasseth roses and melodyC
-
By the sad waters of separationA
Dimly I hear from an hidden placeD
The sigh of mine ancient adorationA
Hardly can I remember your faceD
-
If you be dead no proclamationA
Sprang to me over the waste gray seaC
Living the waters of separationA
Sever for ever your soul from meC
-
No man knoweth our desolationA
Memory pales of the old delightE
While the sad waters of separationA
Bear us on to the ultimate nightE
