A Wish. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEEFGFG| Be where I may when Death brings in his bill | A |
| Demanding payment for life's ling'ring debt | B |
| Or in my native village nestling still | A |
| Or tracing scenes I've never known as yet | B |
| O let one wish go where I will be mine | C |
| To turn me back and wander home to die | D |
| 'Mong nearest friends my latest breath resign | C |
| And in the church yard with my kindred lie | D |
| 'Neath the thick shaded sycamore's decay | E |
| Its broad leaves trembling to the breeze of day | E |
| To see its shadow o'er my ashes wave | F |
| How soothing will it be while hovering near | G |
| My unseen spirit haunts its daisied grave | F |
| Pausing on scenes in life once lov'd so dear | G |
