Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDDEEFFGGHHIIJ JKK| Distance no grace can lend you but for me | A |
| Distance yet magnifies your mystery | A |
| With you and soon content I ask how should | B |
| In your two eyes be hid my heaven of good | B |
| How should your own mere voice the strange words speak | C |
| That tease me with the sense of what's to seek | C |
| In all the world beside How your brown hair | D |
| That simply and neglectfully you wear | D |
| Bind my wild thoughts in its abundant snare | D |
| With you I wonder how you're stranger than | E |
| Another woman to another man | E |
| But parted and you're as a ship unknown | F |
| That to poor castaways at dawn is shown | F |
| As strange as dawn so strange they fear a trick | G |
| Of eyes long vexed and hope with falseness sick | G |
| Parted and like the riddle of a dream | H |
| Dark with rich promise does your beauty seem | H |
| I wonder at your patience stirless peace | I |
| Your subtle pride mute pity's quick release | I |
| Then are you strange to me and sweet as light | J |
| Or dew as strange and dark as starless night | J |
| Then let this restless parting be forgiven | K |
| I go from you to find in you strange heaven | K |
