Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDF GHGH IJIJ| Absent from thee I languish still | A |
| Then ask me not When I return | B |
| The straying fool 'twill plainly kill | A |
| To wish all day all night to mourn | C |
| - | |
| Dear from thine arms then let me fly | D |
| That my fantastic mind may prove | E |
| The torments it deserves to try | D |
| That tears my fix'd heart from my love | F |
| - | |
| When wearied with a world of woe | G |
| To thy safe bosom I retire | H |
| Where love and peace and truth does flow | G |
| May I contented there expire | H |
| - | |
| Lest once more wandering from that heaven | I |
| I fall on some base heart unblest | J |
| Faithless to thee false unforgiven | I |
| And lose my everlasting rest | J |
