Epitaph [to This Grave Is Committed] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEBFG| I was a friend On this sad stone a pious look bestow | A |
| Nor uninstructed read this tale of woe | A |
| And while the sigh of sorrow heaves thy breast | B |
| Let each rebellious murmur be supprest | B |
| Heaven's hidden ways to trace for us how vain | C |
| Heaven's wise decrees how impious to arraign | C |
| Pure from the stains of a polluted age | D |
| In early bloom of life they left the stage | D |
| Not doom'd in lingering woe to waste their breath | E |
| One moment snatch'd Them from the power of Death | E |
| They liv'd united and united died | B |
| Happy the friends whom Death cannot divi | F |
| O man to thee to all | G |
