At A Child's Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA BAB ABA| A sky contused and rifted like a wound | A |
| Red amber gum exudes from the dark tree | B |
| A long day s dying Small anatomy | B |
| Locked in this nameless grave s neglected mound | A |
| - | |
| You wait for nothing now but that wild sound | A |
| Of trumpets blowing doom and jubilee | B |
| And if it came this instant where would I flee | B |
| Where hide my terror in the gaping ground | A |
| - | |
| What crack what rift what gulf would shelter me | B |
| And close me over never to be found | A |
| When the last hopeless wish is not to be | B |
| - | |
| But little child you d rise and walk around | A |
| And have a name again beneath the tree | B |
| Of life you d sit with beams of glory crowned | A |
