The Empty Nest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| I saunter all about the pleasant place | A |
| You made thrice pleasant O my friends to me | B |
| But you are gone where laughs in radiant grace | A |
| That thousand memoried unimpulsive sea | B |
| To storied precincts of the southern foam | C |
| Dear birds of passage ye have taken wing | D |
| And ah for me when April wafts you home | C |
| The spring will more than ever be the spring | D |
| Still lovely as of old this haunted ground | E |
| Tenderly still the autumn sunshine falls | F |
| And gorgeously the woodlands tower around | E |
| Freak'd with wild light at golden intervals | G |
| Yet for the ache your absence leaves O friends | H |
| Earth's lifeless pageantries are poor amends | H |
