Etesia Absent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFFGGHHIIFFJJKK LL

Love the world's life What a sad deathA
Thy absence is to lose our breathA
At once and die is but to liveB
Enlarged without the scant reprieveC
Of pulse and air whose dull returnsD
And narrow circles the soul mournsE
But to be dead alive and stillF
To wish but never have our willF
To be possessed and yet to missG
To wed a true but absent blissG
Are lingering tortures and their smartH
Dissects and racks and grinds the heartH
As soul and body in that stateI
Which unto us seems separateI
Cannot be said to live untilF
Reunion which days fulfilF
And slow paced seasons so in vainJ
Through hours and minutes Time's long trainJ
I look for thee and from thy sightK
As from my soul for life and lightK
For till thine eyes shine so on meL
Mine are fast closed and will not seeL
