My Monument Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHAH| It is pleasant to think as I'm watching my ink | A |
| A drying along my paper | B |
| That a monument fine will surely be mine | C |
| When death has extinguished my taper | B |
| - | |
| From each rhyming scribe of the journalist tribe | D |
| Purged clean of all sentiments narrow | E |
| A pebble will mark his respect for the stark | F |
| Stiff body that's under the barrow | E |
| - | |
| By fellow bards thrown thus stone upon stone | G |
| Will make my celebrity deathless | H |
| O I wish I could think as I gaze at my ink | A |
| They'd wait till my carcass is breathless | H |
