The Burial Of The Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEFGHF| In the old churchyard of his native town | A |
| And in the ancestral tomb beside the wall | B |
| We laid him in the sleep that comes to all | B |
| And left him to his rest and his renown | A |
| The snow was falling as if Heaven dropped down | A |
| White flowers of Paradise to strew his pall | C |
| The dead around him seemed to wake and call | B |
| His name as worthy of so white a crown | A |
| And now the moon is shining on the scene | D |
| And the broad sheet of snow is written o'er | E |
| With shadows cruciform of leafless trees | F |
| As once the winding sheet of Saladin | G |
| With chapters of the Koran but ah more | H |
| Mysterious and triumphant signs are these | F |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
