If You Would Please Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDFF| If you would please me when I've passed away | A |
| Let not your grief embitter you Be brave | B |
| Turn with full courage from my mounded grave | B |
| And smile upon the children at their play | A |
| Let them make merry in their usual way | A |
| Do not with sorrow those young lives enslave | B |
| Or steal from them the fleeting joys they crave | B |
| Let not your grieving spoil their happy day | A |
| Live on as you have lived these many years | C |
| Still let your soul be gentle and be kind | D |
| I never liked to see those eyes in tears | E |
| Weep not too much that you must stay behind | D |
| Share in the lives of others as you'd share | F |
| If God had willed it still to leave me there | F |
