The Death Of Grandfather Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFH IJIJ| We waited commonly for sleep or even death | A |
| The instances were wearisome as ages | B |
| But suddenly the wind's refreshing breath | A |
| Touched through the window the Holy Bible's pages | B |
| - | |
| An old man goes there who's now all white haired | C |
| With rapid steps and merry eyes alone | D |
| He smiles to us and often calls with hand | E |
| And leaves us with a gait that is well known | D |
| - | |
| And suddenly we all who watched the old man's track | F |
| Well recognized just him who now lay before us | G |
| And turning in a sudden rapture back | F |
| Beheld a corpse with eyes forever closed | H |
| - | |
| And it was good for us the soul's way to trace | I |
| And in the leaving one to find the glee it's forming | J |
| The time had come Recall and love in grace | I |
| And celebrate another house warming | J |
