The Exile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDE FFCC BBGG| We told her that her far off shore was bleak and dour to view | A |
| And that her sky was dull and mirk while ours was smiling blue | A |
| She only sighed in answer It is even as ye say | B |
| But oh the ragged splendor when the sun bursts through the gray | B |
| - | |
| We brought her dew wet roses from our fairest summer bowers | C |
| We bade her drink their fragrance we heaped her lap with flowers | C |
| She only said with eyes that yearned Oh if ye might have brought | D |
| The pale unscented blossoms by my father's lowly cot | E |
| - | |
| We bade her listen to the birds that sang so madly sweet | F |
| The lyric of the laughing stream that dimpled at our feet | F |
| But O she cried I weary for the music wild that stirs | C |
| When keens the mournful western wind among my native firs | C |
| - | |
| We told her she had faithful friends and loyal hearts anear | B |
| We prayed her take the fresher loves we prayed her be of cheer | B |
| Oh ye are kind and true she wept but woe's me for the grace | G |
| Of tenderness that shines upon my mother's wrinkled face | G |
