Hope Beyond The Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JCJCKLKL| 'Tis night and the landscape is lovely no more | A |
| I mourn but ye woodlands I mourn not for you | B |
| For morn is approaching your charms to restore | A |
| Perfumed with fresh fragrance and glittering with dew | B |
| Nor yet for the ravage of winter I mourn | C |
| Kind Nature the embryo blossom will save | D |
| But when shall spring visit the mouldering urn | E |
| O when shall day dawn on the night of the grave | D |
| - | |
| 'Twas thus by the glare of false science betray'd | F |
| That leads to bewilder and dazzles to blind | G |
| My thoughts wont to roam from shade onward to shade | F |
| Destruction before me and sorrow behind | G |
| O pity great Father of light then I cried | H |
| Thy creature who fain would not wander from Thee | I |
| Lo humbled in dust I relinquish'd my pride | H |
| From doubt and from darkness Thou only canst free | I |
| - | |
| And darkness and doubt are now flying away | J |
| No longer I roam in conjecture forlorn | C |
| So breaks on the traveller faint and astray | J |
| The bright and the balmy effulgence of morn | C |
| See Truth Love and Mercy in triumph descending | K |
| And Nature all glowing in Eden's first bloom | L |
| On the cold cheek of Death smiles and roses are blending | K |
| And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb | L |
