The Revenant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| O all ye fair ladies with your colours and your graces | A |
| And your eyes clear in flame of candle and hearth | B |
| Toward the dark of this old window lift not up your smiling faces | C |
| Where a Shade stands forlorn from the cold of the earth | D |
| - | |
| God knows I could not rest for one I still was thinking of | E |
| Like a rose sheathed in beauty her spirit was to me | F |
| Now out of unforgottenness a bitter draught I'm drinking of | E |
| 'Tis sad of such beauty unremembered to be | F |
| - | |
| Men all all shades O Woman Winds wist not of the way they blow | G |
| Apart from your kindness life's at best but a snare | H |
| Though a tongue now past praise this bitter thing doth say I know | G |
| What solitude means and how homeless I fare | H |
| - | |
| Strange strange are ye all except in beauty shared with her | I |
| Since I seek one I loved yet was faithless to in death | J |
| Not life enough I heaped so thus my heart must fare with her | I |
| Now wrapt in the gross clay bereft of life's breath | J |
