Contemplation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEFE GHGHIH| I muse upon the distant town | A |
| In many a dreamy mood | B |
| Above my head the sunbeams crown | A |
| The graveyard's giant rood | B |
| The lupin blooms among the tombs | C |
| The quail recalls her brood | B |
| - | |
| Ah good it is to sit and trace | D |
| The shadow of the cross | E |
| It moves so still from place to place | D |
| O'er marble bronze and moss | E |
| With graves to mark upon its arc | F |
| Our time's eternal loss | E |
| - | |
| And sweet it is to watch the bee | G |
| That reve's in the rose | H |
| And sense the fragrance floating free | G |
| On every breeze that blows | H |
| O'er many a mound where safe and sound | I |
| Mine enemies repose | H |
