Farewell Dark Gaol Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DEDEEE| Farewell dark gaol You hold some better hearts | A |
| Than in this savage world I thought to find | B |
| I do not love you nor the fraudulent arts | A |
| By which men tutor men to ways unkind | B |
| Your law is not my law and yet my mind | B |
| Remains your debtor It has learned to see | C |
| How dark a thing the earth would be and blind | B |
| But for the light of human charity | C |
| - | |
| I am your debtor thus and for the pang | D |
| Which touched and chastened and the nights of thought | E |
| Which were my years of learning See I hang | D |
| Your image here a glory all unsought | E |
| About my neck Thus saints in symbol hold | E |
| Their tools of death and darings manifold | E |
