The Grave Yard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| My heart grows sick before the wide spread death | A |
| That walks and speaks in seeming life around | B |
| And I would love the corse without a breath | A |
| That sleeps forgotten 'neath the cold cold ground | B |
| For these do tell the story of decay | C |
| The worm and rotten flesh hide not nor lie | D |
| But this though dying too from day to day | C |
| With a false show doth cheat the longing eye | D |
| And hide the worm that gnaws the core of life | E |
| With painted cheek and smooth deceitful skin | F |
| Covering a grave with sights of darkness rife | E |
| A secret cavern filled with death and sin | F |
| And men walk o'er these graves and know it not | G |
| For in the body's health the soul's forgot | G |
