The Girl I Left Behind Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDBB EEBB FFBB| With sweet Regret the dearest thing that Yesterday has left us | A |
| We often turn our homeless eyes to scenes whence Fate has reft us | A |
| Here sitting by a fading flame wild waifs of song remind me | B |
| Of Annie with her gentle ways the Girl I left behind me | B |
| - | |
| I stood beside the surging sea with lips of silent passion | C |
| I faced you by the surging sea O brows of mild repression | C |
| I never said my darling stay the moments seemed to bind me | B |
| To something stifling all my words for the Girl I left behind me | B |
| - | |
| The pathos worn by common things by every wayside flower | D |
| Or Autumn leaf on lonely winds revives the parting hour | D |
| Ye swooning thoughts without a voice ye tears which rose to blind me | B |
| Why did she fade into the Dark the Girl I left behind me | B |
| - | |
| At night they always come to me the tender and true hearted | E |
| And in my dreams we join again the hands which now are parted | E |
| And looking through the gates of Sleep the pleasant Moon doth find me | B |
| For ever wandering with my Love the Girl I left behind me | B |
| - | |
| You know my life is incomplete O far off faint Ideal | F |
| When shall I reach you from a depth of darkness which is real | F |
| So I may mingle soul in soul with her that Heaven assigned me | B |
| So she may lean upon my love the Girl I left behind me | B |
