In The Churchyard At Tarrytown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Here lies the gentle humorist who died | A |
| In the bright Indian Summer of his fame | B |
| A simple stone with but a date and name | B |
| Marks his secluded resting place beside | A |
| The river that he loved and glorified | A |
| Here in the autumn of his days he came | B |
| But the dry leaves of life were all aflame | B |
| With tints that brightened and were multiplied | A |
| How sweet a life was his how sweet a death | C |
| Living to wing with mirth the weary hours | D |
| Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer | E |
| Dying to leave a memory like the breath | C |
| Of summers full of sunshine and of showers | D |
| A grief and gladness in the atmosphere | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
