Farewell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HAHA AIAI| Farewell Aziz it was not mine to fold you | A |
| Against my heart for any length of days | B |
| I had no loveliness alas to hold you | A |
| No siren voice no charm that lovers praise | B |
| - | |
| Yet in the midst of grief and desolation | C |
| Solace I my despairing soul with this | D |
| Once for my life's eternal consolation | C |
| You lent my lips your loveliness to kiss | D |
| - | |
| Ah that one night I think Love's very essence | E |
| Distilled itself from out my joy and pain | F |
| Like tropical trees whose fervid inflorescence | E |
| Glows gleams and dies never to bloom again | G |
| - | |
| Often I marvel how I met the morning | H |
| With living eyes after that night with you | A |
| Ah how I cursed the wan white light for dawning | H |
| And mourned the paling stars as each withdrew | A |
| - | |
| Yet I even I who am less than dust before you | A |
| Less than the lowest lintel of your door | I |
| Was given one breathless midnight to adore you | A |
| Fate having granted this can give no more | I |
