To A Lady, On Being Asked My Reason For Quitting England In The Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| When Man expell'd from Eden's bowers | A |
| A moment linger'd near the gate | B |
| Each scene recall'd the vanish'd hours | A |
| And bade him curse his future fate | B |
| - | |
| But wandering on through distant climes | C |
| He learnt to bear his load of grief | D |
| Just gave a sigh to other times | C |
| And found in busier scenes relief | D |
| - | |
| Thus Lady will it be with me | E |
| And I must view thy charms no more | F |
| For while I linger near to thee | E |
| I sigh for all I knew before | F |
| - | |
| In flight I shall be surely wise | G |
| Escaping from temptation's snare | H |
| I cannot view my Paradise | I |
| Without the wish of dwelling there | H |
George Gordon Lord Byron
