The Minstrel's Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAECDCD| Oh let it be where the waters are meeting | A |
| In one crystal sheet like the summer's sky bright | B |
| Oh let it be where the sun when retreating | A |
| May throw the last glance of his vanishing light | B |
| Lay me there lay me there and upon my lone pillow | C |
| Let the emerald moss in soft starry wreaths swell | D |
| Be my dirge the faint sob of the murmuring billow | C |
| And the burthen it sings to me nought but farewell | D |
| - | |
| Oh let it be where soft slumber enticing | A |
| The cypress and myrtle have mingled their shade | E |
| Oh let it be where the moon at her rising | A |
| May throw the first night glance that silvers the glade | E |
| Lay me there lay me there and upon the green willow | C |
| Hang the harp that has cheered the lone minstrel so well | D |
| That the soft breath of heaven as it sighs o'er my pillow | C |
| From its strings now forsaken may sound one farewell | D |
