In A Graveyard. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FDGD GHDH CEIE| In the dewy depths of the graveyard | A |
| I lie in the tangled grass | B |
| And watch in the sea of azure | C |
| The white cloud islands pass | B |
| - | |
| The birds in the rustling branches | D |
| Sing gaily overhead | E |
| Grey stones like sentinel spectres | D |
| Are guarding the silent dead | E |
| - | |
| The early flowers sleep shaded | F |
| In the cool green noonday glooms | D |
| The broken light falls shuddering | G |
| On the cold white face of the tombs | D |
| - | |
| Without the world is smiling | G |
| In the infinite love of God | H |
| But the sunlight fails and falters | D |
| When it falls on the churchyard sod | H |
| - | |
| On me the joyous rapture | C |
| Of a heart's first love is shed | E |
| But it falls on my heart as coldly | I |
| As sunlight on the dead | E |
