Kinsman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| Where ceaseless Spring her garland twines | A |
| As sweetly shall the loved one rest | B |
| As if beneath the whispering pines | A |
| And maple shadows of the West | B |
| - | |
| Ye mourn O hearts of home for him | C |
| But haply mourn ye not alone | D |
| For him shall far off eyes be dim | C |
| And pity speak in tongues unknown | D |
| - | |
| There needs no graven line to give | E |
| The story of his blameless youth | F |
| All hearts shall throb intuitive | E |
| And nature guess the simple truth | F |
| - | |
| The very meaning of his name | G |
| Shall many a tender tribute win | H |
| The stranger own his sacred claim | G |
| And all the world shall be his kin | H |
| - | |
| And there as here on main and isle | I |
| The dews of holy peace shall fall | J |
| The same sweet heavens above him smile | I |
| And God's dear love be over all | J |
