Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD ACAC AEAEBy 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 the the ultimate night | E |
