Memorial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBC DDEEF GGHHC| The wild October sky | A |
| Rises not so high | A |
| The tree's roots that creep | B |
| Into the earth's body thrust not so deep | B |
| As our high and dark thought | C |
| - | |
| Yet thought need not roam | D |
| Far off to bring you home | D |
| The sky is our wild mind | E |
| Your roots are round our spirits twined | E |
| To ours are your hearts caught | F |
| - | |
| O never buried dead | G |
| The living brain in the head | G |
| Is not so quick as you | H |
| Burning our conscious darkness through | H |
| With brightness past our thought | C |
