Farewell Lines Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVRWXYZA2Hign bliss is only for a higher state | A |
But surely if severe afflictions borne | B |
With patience merit the reward of peace | C |
Peace ye deserve and may the solid good | D |
Sought by a wise though late exchange and here | E |
With bounteous hand beneath a cottage roof | F |
To you accorded never be withdrawn | G |
Nor for the world's best promises renounced | H |
Most soothing was it for a welcome Friend | I |
Fresh from the crowded city to behold | J |
That lonely union privacy so deep | K |
Such calm employments such entire content | L |
So when the rain is over the storm laid | M |
A pair of herons oft times have I seen | N |
Upon a rocky islet side by side | O |
Drying their feathers in the sun at ease | P |
And so when night with grateful gloom had fallen | Q |
Two glow worms in such nearness that they shared | R |
As seemed their soft self satisfying light | S |
Each with the other on the dewy ground | T |
Where He that made them blesses their repose | U |
When wandering among lakes and hills I note | V |
Once more those creatures thus by nature paired | R |
And guarded in their tranquil state of life | W |
Even as your happy presence to my mind | X |
Their union brought will they repay the debt | Y |
And send a thankful spirit back to you | Z |
With hope that we dear Friends shall meet again | A2 |
