To A Child Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| Whenas my life shall time with funeral tread | A |
| The heavy death drum of the beaten hours | B |
| Following sole mourner mine own manhood dead | A |
| Poor forgot corse where not a maid strows flowers | B |
| When I you love am no more I you love | C |
| But go with unsubservient feet behold | D |
| Your dear face through changed eyes all grim change prove | E |
| A new man mock ed with misname of old | D |
| When shamed Love keep his ruined lodging elf | F |
| When ceremented in mouldering memory | G |
| Myself is hears ed underneath myself | F |
| And I am but the monument of me | G |
| O to that tomb be tender then which bears | H |
| Only the name of him it sepulchres | H |
