Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGFGG| There is strange music in the stirring wind | A |
| When lowers the autumnal eve and all alone | B |
| To the dark wood's cold covert thou art gone | C |
| Whose ancient trees on the rough slope reclined | A |
| Rock and at times scatter their tresses sere | D |
| If in such shades beneath their murmuring | E |
| Thou late hast passed the happier hours of spring | E |
| With sadness thou wilt mark the fading year | D |
| Chiefly if one with whom such sweets at morn | F |
| Or evening thou hast shared afar shall stray | G |
| O Spring return return auspicious May | G |
| But sad will be thy coming and forlorn | F |
| If she return not with thy cheering ray | G |
| Who from these shades is gone far far away | G |
