Stanzas. -- April, 1814 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHI JKJK LMLM NNNN| Away the moor is dark beneath the moon | A |
| Rapid clouds have drank the last pale beam of even | B |
| Away the gathering winds will call the darkness soon | A |
| And profoundest midnight shroud the serene lights of heaven | C |
| - | |
| Pause not The time is past Every voice cries Away | D |
| Tempt not with one last tear thy friend s ungentle mood | E |
| Thy lover s eye so glazed and cold dares not entreat thy stay | D |
| Duty and dereliction guide thee back to solitude | E |
| - | |
| Away away to thy sad and silent home | F |
| Pour bitter tears on its desolated hearth | G |
| Watch the dim shades as like ghosts they go and come | H |
| And complicate strange webs of melancholy mirth | I |
| - | |
| The leaves of wasted autumn woods shall float around thine head | J |
| The blooms of dewy spring shall gleam beneath thy feet | K |
| But thy soul or this world must fade in the frost that binds the dead | J |
| Ere midnight s frown and morning s smile ere thou and peace may meet | K |
| - | |
| The cloud shadows of midnight possess their own repose | L |
| For the weary winds are silent or the moon is in the deep | M |
| Some respite to its turbulence unresting ocean knows | L |
| Whatever moves or toils or grieves hath its appointed sleep | M |
| - | |
| Thou in the grave shalt rest yet till the phantoms flee | N |
| Which that house and heath and garden made dear to thee erewhile | N |
| Thy remembrance and repentance and deep musings are not free | N |
| From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile | N |
