To' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FGHI| When that eye of light shall in darkness fall | A |
| And thy bosom be shrouded in death's cold pall | B |
| When the bloom of that rich red lip shall fade | C |
| And thy head on its pillow of dust be laid | C |
| - | |
| Oh then thy spirit shall see how true | D |
| Are the holy vows I have breathed to you | D |
| My form shall moulder thy grave beside | E |
| And in the blue heavens I'll seek my bride | E |
| - | |
| Then we'll tell as we tread yon azure sphere | F |
| Of the woes we have known while lingering here | G |
| And our spirits shall joy that their pilgrimage o'er | H |
| They have met in the heavens to sever no more | I |
