A Baby's Epitaph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBBCCCApril made me winter laid me here away asleep | A |
Bright as Maytime was my daytime night is soft and deep | A |
Though the morrow bring forth sorrow well are ye that weep | A |
Ye that held me dear beheld me not a twelvemonth long | B |
All the while ye saw me smile ye knew not whence the song | B |
Came that made me smile and laid me here and wrought you wrong | B |
Angels calling from your brawling world one undefiled | C |
Homeward bade me and forbade me here to rest beguiled | C |
Here I sleep not pass and weep not here upon your child | C |
