In Memoriam A. H. H.: 67. When On My Bed The Moonlight Fall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG| When on my bed the moonlight falls | A |
| I know that in thy place of rest | B |
| By that broad water of the west | B |
| There comes a glory on the walls | A |
| Thy marble bright in dark appears | C |
| As slowly steals a silver flame | D |
| Along the letters of thy name | D |
| And o'er the number of thy years | C |
| The mystic glory swims away | E |
| From off my bed the moonlight dies | F |
| And closing eaves of wearied eyes | F |
| I sleep till dusk is dipt in gray | E |
| - | |
| And then I know the mist is drawn | G |
| A lucid veil from coast to coast | H |
| And in the dark church like a ghost | H |
| Thy tablet glimmers to the dawn | G |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
