My Lady's Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HAIA JAJA KLKL MAMA| The linnet in the rocky dells | A |
| The moor lark in the air | B |
| The bee among the heather bells | A |
| That hide my lady fair | B |
| - | |
| The wild deer browse above her breast | C |
| The wild birds raise their brood | D |
| And they her smiles of love caress'd | C |
| Have left her solitude | D |
| - | |
| I ween that when the grave's dark wall | E |
| Did first her form retain | F |
| They thought their hearts could ne'er recall | E |
| The light of joy again | G |
| - | |
| They thought the tide of grief would flow | H |
| Uncheck'd through future years | A |
| But where is all their anguish now | I |
| And where are all their tears | A |
| - | |
| Well let them fight for honour's breath | J |
| Or pleasure's shade pursue | A |
| The dweller in the land of death | J |
| Is changed and careless too | A |
| - | |
| And if their eyes should watch and weep | K |
| Till sorrow's source were dry | L |
| She would not in her tranquil sleep | K |
| Return a single sigh | L |
| - | |
| Blow west wind by the lonely mound | M |
| And murmur summer streams | A |
| There is no need of other sound | M |
| To soothe my lady's dreams | A |
