At A Child's Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA BAB ABA

A sky contused and rifted like a woundA
Red amber gum exudes from the dark treeB
A long day s dying Small anatomyB
Locked in this nameless grave s neglected moundA
-
You wait for nothing now but that wild soundA
Of trumpets blowing doom and jubileeB
And if it came this instant where would I fleeB
Where hide my terror in the gaping groundA
-
What crack what rift what gulf would shelter meB
And close me over never to be foundA
When the last hopeless wish is not to beB
-
But little child you d rise and walk aroundA
And have a name again beneath the treeB
Of life you d sit with beams of glory crownedA
