Thoughts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DBDBEF GHGHII| I dug a grave one smiling April day | A |
| A grave whose small proportions testified | B |
| To empty arms and playthings put away | A |
| To ears which heard when only fancy cried | B |
| I wondered as I shaped that little mound | C |
| If in my home such grief should e'er be found | C |
| - | |
| I dug a grave 'twas in the month of June | D |
| A grave for one who at his zenith died | B |
| When on that mound with floral tributes strewn | D |
| The tear drops fell of one but late his bride | B |
| I wondered if upon my silent bier | E |
| Should rest the moist impression of a tear | F |
| - | |
| I dug a grave by Autumn's sober light | G |
| A grave of full dimensions 'twas for one | H |
| Whose hair had changed its raven hue to white | G |
| Whose course had finished with the setting sun | H |
| I wondered as I toiled with pick and spade | I |
| Where and by whom would my last home be made | I |
