Exit Holiday Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEFFGG HHIIII| Farewell to the feast day the pray'r book is stained | A |
| With tears of the booth scarce a trace has remained | A |
| The lime branch is withered the osiers are dying | B |
| And pale as a corpse the fair palm frond is lying | B |
| The boughs of grey willow are trodden and broken | C |
| Friend these are your hopes and your longings unspoken | C |
| - | |
| Lo there lie your dreamings all dimm'd and rejected | D |
| And there lie the joys were so surely expected | E |
| And there is the happiness blighted and perished | F |
| And all that aforetime your soul knew and cherished | F |
| The loved and the longed for the striven for vainly | G |
| Your whole life before you lies pictured how plainly | G |
| - | |
| The branches are sapless the leaves will decay | H |
| An end is upon us and whence who shall say | H |
| The broom of the beadle outside now has hustled | I |
| The lime and the palm that so pleasantly rustled | I |
| There blew a cold gust from our sight all is banished | I |
| The shaft from a cross bow less swiftly had vanished | I |
