On A Baby Buried By The Hawkesbury Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EDEDDDDD| A grace that was lent for a very few hours | A |
| By the bountiful Spirit above us | B |
| She sleeps like a flower in the land of the flowers | A |
| She went ere she knew how to love us | B |
| Her music of Heaven was strange to this sphere | C |
| Her voice is a silence for ever | D |
| In the bitter wild fall of a sorrowful year | C |
| We buried our bird by the river | D |
| - | |
| But the gold of the grass and the green of the vine | E |
| And the music of wind and of water | D |
| And the torrent of song and superlative shine | E |
| Are close to our dear little daughter | D |
| The months of the year are all gracious to her | D |
| A winter breath visits her never | D |
| She sleeps like a bird in a cradle of myrrh | D |
| By the banks of the beautiful river | D |
