Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEB EMy heart is in the east and I in the uttermost west | A |
How can I find savour in food How shall it be sweet to me | B |
How shall I render my vows and my bonds while yet | C |
Zion lieth beneath the fetter of Edom and I in Arab chains | D |
A light thing would it seem to me to leave all the good things of Spain | E |
Seeing how precious in mine eyes to behold the dust of the desolate sanctuary | B |
