Beginning, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFFGGHHBCIIJJK| Some day I shall rise and leave my friends | A |
| And seek you again through the world's far ends | A |
| You whom I found so fair | B |
| Touch of your hands and smell of your hair | B |
| My only god in the days that were | C |
| My eager feet shall find you again | D |
| Though the sullen years and the mark of pain | E |
| Have changed you wholly for I shall know | F |
| How could I forget having loved you so | F |
| In the sad half light of evening | G |
| The face that was all my sunrising | G |
| So then at the ends of the earth I'll stand | H |
| And hold you fiercely by either hand | H |
| And seeing your age and ashen hair | B |
| I'll curse the thing that once you were | C |
| Because it is changed and pale and old | I |
| Lips that were scarlet hair that was gold | I |
| And I loved you before you were old and wise | J |
| When the flame of youth was strong in your eyes | J |
| And my heart is sick with memories | K |
