When The Sad Word. By Paul, The Silentiary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC ADAECFCF| When the sad word Adieu from my lip is nigh falling | A |
| And with it Hope passes away | B |
| Ere the tongue hath half breathed it my fond heart recalling | A |
| That fatal farewell bids me stay | B |
| For oh 'tis a penance so weary | C |
| One hour from thy presence to be | C |
| That death to this soul were less dreary | C |
| Less dark than long absence from thee | C |
| - | |
| Thy beauty like Day o'er the dull world breaking | A |
| Brings life to the heart it shines o'er | D |
| And in mine a new feeling of happiness waking | A |
| Made light what was darkness before | E |
| But mute is the Day's sunny glory | C |
| While thine hath a voice on whose breath | F |
| More sweet than the Syren's sweet story | C |
| My hopes hang through life and through death | F |
