The Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| In the grey dawn I lie within my bed | A |
| Still as a frozen lake that pats no more | B |
| With murmurous delight the o'erhanging shore | B |
| Yet grim thoughts heave obscurely in my head | A |
| For curtains I have earthen walls and lead | A |
| Is colder than the woollen garb I wore | B |
| But oh that heart of mine is still as sore | B |
| As when I did not know that I was dead | A |
| I knew her O my Life and she was fair | C |
| And gave her beauty to the hills and sea | D |
| The wonder of her voice to leaf and wave | E |
| The brown earth lies between us does she care | C |
| That since she cast the first dull clod on me | D |
| My lonely heart is aching in the grave | E |
