Memorial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFE FGG| Thy mouth whereof the worm was amorous | A |
| Thy brows whereon some waning moon had power | B |
| Thy breasts corruptible as any flower | B |
| And all thy troubled beauty tremulous | A |
| - | |
| These these my careful love hath laid away | C |
| And in the tomb its marble dreams have made | D |
| Thou sleepest by no dawn or noon betrayed | D |
| To the cold light of time's corrosive day | C |
| - | |
| Yes till my brain and all the dreams thereof | E |
| And mournful memories are bitter mould | F |
| Thou liest lovelier with death and love | E |
| - | |
| Than any queen ensepulchered of old | F |
| Whose balmy cerements with a soft perfume | G |
| Make sweet for aye the mausolean gloom | G |
