Departure. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCA ADADDA| While the far farewell music thins and fails | A |
| And the broad bottoms rip the bearing brine | B |
| All smalling slowly to the gray sea line | B |
| And each significant red smoke shaft pales | A |
| - | |
| Keen sense of severance everywhere prevails | A |
| Which shapes the late long tramp of mounting men | C |
| To seeming words that ask and ask again | C |
| How long O striving Teutons Slavs and Gaels | A |
| - | |
| Must your wroth reasonings trade on lives like these | A |
| That are as puppets in a playing hand | D |
| When shall the saner softer polities | A |
| Whereof we dream have play in each proud land | D |
| And patriotism grown Godlike scorn to stand | D |
| Bondslave to realms but circle earth and seas | A |
