An Exile's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB EBEB FBFB GBHB IBIB| My soul is like a prisoned lark | A |
| That sings and dreams of liberty | B |
| The nights are long the days are dark | A |
| Away from home away from thee | B |
| - | |
| My only joy is in my dreams | C |
| When I thy loving face can see | B |
| How dreary the awakening seems | C |
| Away from home away from thee | B |
| - | |
| At dawn I hasten to the shore | D |
| To gaze across the sparkling sea | B |
| The sea is bright to me no more | D |
| Which parts me from my home and thee | B |
| - | |
| At twilight when the air grows chill | E |
| And cold and leaden is the sea | B |
| My tears like bitter dews distil | E |
| Away from home away from thee | B |
| - | |
| I could not live did I not know | F |
| That thou art ever true to me | B |
| I could not bear a doubtful woe | F |
| Away from home away from thee | B |
| - | |
| I could not live did I not hear | G |
| A voice that sings the day to be | B |
| When hitherward a ship shall steer | H |
| To bear me back to home and thee | B |
| - | |
| Oh when at last that day shall break | I |
| In sunshine on the dancing sea | B |
| It will be brighter for the sake | I |
| Of my return to home and thee | B |
