In A Churchyard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDEEThere may be seeming calm above but no | A |
There is a pulse below which ceases not | B |
A subterranean working fiery hot | B |
Deep in the million hearted bosom though | A |
Earthquakes unlock not the prodigious show | A |
Of elemental conflict and this spot | B |
Nurses most quiet bones which lie and rot | B |
And here the humblest weeds take root and grow | A |
There is a calm upon the mighty sea | C |
Yet are its depths alive and full of being | D |
Enormous bulks that move unwieldily | E |
Yet pore we on it they are past our seeing | D |
From the deep sea weed fields though wide and ample | E |
Comes there no rushing sound these do not trample | E |
