To An Absentee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDADAEFEF| O'er hill and dale and distant sea | A |
| Through all the miles that stretch between | B |
| My thought must fly to rest on thee | A |
| And would though worlds should intervene | B |
| Nay thou art now so dear methinks | A |
| The farther we are forced apart | C |
| Affection's firm elastic links | A |
| But bind the closer round the heart | C |
| For now we sever each from each | D |
| I learned what I have lost in thee | A |
| Alas that nothing else could teach | D |
| How great indeed my love should be | A |
| Farewell I did not know thy worth | E |
| But thou art gone and now 'tis prized | F |
| So angels walk'd unknown on earth | E |
| But when they flew were recognized | F |
