Estrangement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| So without overt breach we fall apart | A |
| Tacitly sunder neither you nor I | B |
| Conscious of one intelligible Why | B |
| And both from severance winning equal smart | A |
| So with resigned and acquiescent heart | A |
| Whene'er your name on some chance lip may lie | B |
| I seem to see an alien shade pass by | B |
| A spirit wherein I have no lot or part | A |
| Thus may a captive in some fortress grim | C |
| From casual speech betwixt his warders learn | D |
| That June on her triumphant progress goes | E |
| Through arched and bannered woodlands while for him | C |
| She is a legend emptied of concern | D |
| And idle is the rumour of the rose | E |
