Graves Of Infants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDD EFEFFGFGG| Infant' graves are steps of angels where | A |
| Earth's brightest gems of innocence repose | B |
| God is their parent and they need no tear | A |
| He takes them to His bosom from earth's woes | B |
| A bud their lifetime and a flower their close | C |
| Their spirits are an Iris of the skies | D |
| Needing no prayers a sunset's happy close | C |
| Gone are the bright rays of their soft blue eyes | D |
| Flowers weep in dew drops oer them and the gale gently sighs | D |
| - | |
| Their lives were nothing but a sunny shower | E |
| Melting on flowers as tears melt from the eye | F |
| Their deaths were dew drops on Heaven's amaranth bower | E |
| And tolled on flowers as Summer gales went by | F |
| They bowed and trembled and they left no sigh | F |
| And the sun smiled to show their end was well | G |
| Infants have nought to weep for ere they die | F |
| All prayers are needless beads they need not tell | G |
| White flowers their mourners are Nature their passing bell | G |
