Ballade To A Departing God Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBD ABABBEBD ABABBEBD B BCBD| God of the Wine List roseate lord | A |
| And is it really then good by | B |
| Of Prohibitionists abhorred | A |
| Must thou in sorry sooth then die | B |
| O fatal morning of July | B |
| Nor aught hold back the threatened hour | C |
| That shrinks thy purple clusters dry | B |
| Say not good by but au revoir | D |
| - | |
| For the last time the wine is poured | A |
| For the last toast the glass raised high | B |
| And henceforth round the wintry board | A |
| As dumb as fish we'll sit and sigh | B |
| And eat our Puritanic pie | B |
| And dream of suppers gone before | E |
| With flying wit and words that fly | B |
| Say not good by but au revoir | D |
| - | |
| 'Twas on thy wings the poet soared | A |
| And Sorrow fled when thou wentst by | B |
| And when we said Here's looking toward | A |
| It seemed a better world say I | B |
| With greener grass and bluer sky | B |
| The writ is on the Tavern Door | E |
| And who would tipple on the sly | B |
| 'Tis not good by but au revoir | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| ENVOI | B |
| - | |
| Gay God of Bottles I deny | B |
| Those brave tempestuous times are o'er | C |
| Somehow I think I scarce know why | B |
| 'Tis not good by but au revoir | D |
