That Kind Heart You Were Jealous Of, My Nurse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFGGHIGJG HHKKLMNG| That kind heart you were jealous of my nurse | A |
| Who sleeps her sleep beneath the humble turf | B |
| I'd like to give her flowers wouldn't you | C |
| The dead the poor dead have their sorrows too | C |
| And when October trims the branches down | D |
| Blowing its sombre wind around their stones | E |
| The living seem ungrateful to the dead | F |
| For sleeping as they do warm in their beds | G |
| Meanwhile devoured by black imaginings | G |
| No bedmate and without good gossiping | H |
| Worked by the worm cold skeletons below | I |
| Seem to be filtering the winter's snows | G |
| And time flows by no family who will | J |
| Tend to the scraps that hang from iron grills | G |
| - | |
| If in the dusk while logs would smoke and sing | H |
| I'd see her in the armchair pondering | H |
| Or find her in a night of wintry gloom | K |
| Abinding in a corner of my room | K |
| Grae spirit who'd ascended from her pain | L |
| To watch with love her grown up child again | M |
| What could I offer this most pious soul | N |
| Watching her tears fall from their hollow holes | G |
