Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCC DEED FDDF AGGAOn that day | A |
I shall put roses on roses and cover your grave | B |
With multitude of white roses and since you were brave | B |
One bright red ray | A |
- | |
So people passing under | C |
The ash trees of the valley road will raise | D |
Their eyes and look at the grave on the hill in wonder | C |
Wondering mount and put the flowers asunder | C |
- | |
To see whose praise | D |
Is blazoned here so white and so bloodily red | E |
Then they will say 'Tis long since she is dead | E |
Who has remembered her after many days | D |

And standing there | F |
They will consider how you went your ways | D |
Unnoticed among them a still queen lost in the maze | D |
Of this earthly affair | F |

A queen they'll say | A |
Has slept unnoticed on a forgotten hill | G |
Sleeps on unknown unnoticed there until | G |
Dawns my insurgent day | A |
