At Crown Hill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDCEEFFGGHHIIJJFF KK| Leave him here in the fresh | A |
| greening grasses and trees | B |
| And the symbols of love and the solace of these | B |
| The saintly white lilies and blossoms he keeps | C |
| In endless caress as | D |
| he breathlessly sleeps | C |
| The tears of our eyes wrong the scene of his rest | E |
| For the sky's at its clearest the sun's at its best | E |
| The earth at its greenest its wild bud and bloom | F |
| At its sweetest and sweetest its honey'd perfume | F |
| Home Home Leave him here in his lordly estate | G |
| And with never a tear as we turn from the gate | G |
| Turn back to the home that will know him no more | H |
| The vines at the window the sun through the door | H |
| Nor sound of his voice nor the light of his face | I |
| But the birds will sing on and the rose in his place | I |
| Will tenderly smile til we daringly feign | J |
| He is home with us still though the tremulous rain | J |
| Of our tears reappear and again all is bloom | F |
| And all prayerless we sob in the long darkened room | F |
| Heaven portions it thus the old mystery dim | K |
| It is midnight to us it is morning to him | K |
