The Travelling Companion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CB B DBDB EBEB FBFB| Into the silence of the empty night | A |
| I went and took my scorned heart with me | B |
| And all the thousand eyes of heaven were bright | A |
| But Sorrow came and led me back to thee | B |
| - | |
| I turned my weary eyes towards the sun | C |
| Out of the leaden East like smoke came he | B |
| I laughed and said ' The night is past and done ' | - |
| But sorrow came and led me back to thee | B |
| - | |
| I turned my face towards the rising moon | D |
| Out of the south she came most sweet to see | B |
| She smiled upon my eyes that loathed the noon | D |
| But sorrow came and led me back to thee | B |
| - | |
| I bent my eyes upon the summer land | E |
| And all the painted fields were ripe for me | B |
| And every flower nodded to my hand | E |
| But Sorrow came and led me back to thee | B |
| - | |
| O Love O Sorrow O desired Despair | F |
| I turn my feet towards the boundless sea | B |
| Into the dark I go and heed not where | F |
| So that I come again at last to thee | B |
