To J. R. M Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEEAAAFFGHII| I walked within the silent city of the dead | A |
| Which then with Autumn leaves was carpeted | B |
| And where the faded flower and withered wreath | C |
| Bespoke the love for those who slept beneath | C |
| And weeping stood beside a new made grave | D |
| Which held the sacred dust that friendship gave | D |
| That heart with milk of human kindness overflowed | E |
| That sympathetic hand its generous aid bestowed | E |
| To lighten others' burdens on life's weary road | E |
| And there no polished shaft need lift its head | A |
| In lettered eulogy above the sainted dead | A |
| His deeds are monuments above the dust whereon we tread | A |
| When from its fragile tenement of clay | F |
| To fairer realms his spirit winged its way | F |
| With poignant grief we stood around the bier | G |
| Which held the lifeless form of one held dear | H |
| And broken hearts that knew no comfort then | I |
| Still mourn the loss of one of Nature's noblemen | I |
