On Monsieur's Departure
What is the rhyme scheme of the poem, On Monsieur’s Departure?
.
.
Each of the stanzas follows the same rhyme scheme, in which the first and third lines rhyme, as do the second and fourth, with the fifth and sixth creating a rhyming couplet. This again emphasizes a structure that is both fluid and regular. The rhyme scheme encloses the meaning of each stanza, but the relative complexity of the metrical form creates a sense of flow that allows it to read as being more similar to ordinary speech, while maintaining the regularity of formal verse.
