She's Up And Gone, The Graceless Girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHIJIKLMLNOCO PIQI| She's up and gone the graceless girl | A |
| And robb'd my failing years | B |
| My blood before was thin and cold | C |
| But now 'tis turn'd to tears | D |
| My shadow falls upon my grave | E |
| So near the brink I stand | F |
| She might have stay'd a little yet | G |
| And led me by the hand | F |
| Aye call her on the barren moor | H |
| And call her on the hill | I |
| 'Tis nothing but the heron's cry | J |
| And plover's answer shrill | I |
| My child is flown on wilder wings | K |
| Than they have ever spread | L |
| And I may even walk a waste | M |
| That widen'd when she fled | L |
| Full many a thankless child has been | N |
| But never one like mine | O |
| Her meat was served on plates of gold | C |
| Her drink was rosy wine | O |
| But now she'll share the robin's food | P |
| And sup the common rill | I |
| Before her feet will turn again | Q |
| To meet her father's will | I |
