Missing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE FGHGIJIJEE KLKLMNONEE PLQRSDTDEE| In the cool sweet hush of a wooded nook | A |
| Where the May buds sprinkle the green old mound | B |
| And the winds and the birds and the limpid brook | A |
| Murmur their dreams with a drowsy sound | B |
| Who lies so still in the plushy moss | C |
| With his pale cheek pressed on a breezy pillow | D |
| Couched where the light and the shadow cross | C |
| Through the flickering fringe of the willow | D |
| Who lies alas | E |
| So still so chill in the whispering grass | E |
| - | |
| A soldier clad in the Zouave dress | F |
| A bright haired man with his lips apart | G |
| One hand thrown up o'er his frank dead face | H |
| And the other clutching his pulseless heart | G |
| Lies here in the shadows cool and dim | I |
| His musket swept by a trailing bough | J |
| With a careless grace in each quiet limb | I |
| And a wound on his manly brow | J |
| A wound alas | E |
| Whence the warm blood drips on the quiet grass | E |
| - | |
| The violets peer from their dusky beds | K |
| With a tearful dew in their great pure eyes | L |
| The lilies quiver their shining heads | K |
| Their pale lips full of a sad surprise | L |
| And the lizard darts through the glistening fern | M |
| And the squirrel rustles the branches hoary | N |
| Strange birds fly out with a cry to bathe | O |
| Their wings in the sunset glory | N |
| While the shadows pass | E |
| O'er the quiet face and the dewy grass | E |
| - | |
| God pity the bride who waits at home | P |
| With her lily cheeks and her violet eyes | L |
| Dreaming the sweet old dreams of love | Q |
| While her lover is walking in Paradise | R |
| God strengthen her heart as the days go by | S |
| And the long drear nights of her vigil follow | D |
| Nor bird nor moon nor whispering wind | T |
| May breathe the tale of the hollow | D |
| Alas Alas | E |
| The secret is safe with the woodland grass | E |
