A Lynmouth Widow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| He was straight and strong and his eyes were blue | A |
| As the summer meeting of sky and sea | B |
| And the ruddy cliffs had a colder hue | A |
| Than flushed his cheek when he married me | B |
| - | |
| We passed the porch where the swallows breed | C |
| We left the little brown church behind | D |
| And I leaned on his arm though I had no need | C |
| Only to feel him so strong and kind | D |
| - | |
| One thing I never can quite forget | E |
| It grips my throat when I try to pray | F |
| The keen salt smell of a drying net | E |
| That hung on the churchyard wall that day | F |
| - | |
| He would have taken a long long grave | G |
| A long long grave for he stood so tall | H |
| Oh God the crash of a breaking wave | G |
| And the smell of the nets on the churchyard wall | H |
