Separation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CECE EFEF| Stop Not to me at this bitter departing | A |
| Speak of the sure consolations of Time | B |
| Fresh be the wound still renew'd be its smarting | A |
| So but thy image endure in its prime | B |
| - | |
| But if the stedfast commandment of Nature | C |
| Wills that remembrance should always decay | D |
| If the lov'd form and the deep cherish'd feature | C |
| Must when unseen from the soul fade away | D |
| - | |
| Me let no half effac'd memories cumber | C |
| Fled fled at once be all vestige of thee | E |
| Deep be the darkness and still be the slumber | C |
| Dead be the Past and its phantoms to me | E |
| - | |
| Then when we meet and thy look strays towards me | E |
| Scanning my face and the changes wrought there | F |
| Who let me say is this Stranger regards me | E |
| With the grey eyes and the lovely brown hair | F |
