To An Absent Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEFEF| That so much change should come when thou dost go | A |
| Is mystery that I cannot ravel quite | B |
| The very house seems dark as when the light | B |
| Of lamps goes out Each wonted thing doth grow | A |
| So altered that I wander to and fro | A |
| Bewildered by the most familiar sight | B |
| And feel like one who rouses in the night | B |
| From dream of ecstasy and cannot know | A |
| At first if he be sleeping or awake | C |
| My foolish heart so foolish for thy sake | C |
| Hath grown dear one | D |
| Teach me to be more wise | E |
| I blush for all my foolishness doth lack | F |
| I fear to seem a coward in thine eyes | E |
| Teach me dear one but first thou must come back | F |
