Parting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ADAD AEEA F| How I have felt that thing that's called 'to part' | A |
| and feel it still a dark invincible | B |
| cruel something by which what was joined so well | C |
| is once more shown held out and torn apart | A |
| - | |
| In what defenceless gaze at that I've stood | A |
| which as it calling to me let me go | D |
| stayed there as though it were all womanhood | A |
| yet small and white and nothing more than oh | D |
| - | |
| waving now already unrelated | A |
| to me a sight continuing wave scarce now | E |
| explainable perhaps a plum tree bough | E |
| some perchinig cuckoo's hastily vacated | A |
