Graves At Christiania Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDDEFGFGHGHDIDI| WE bore them their own wild heather | A |
| And ash boughs jeweled red | B |
| There where they sleep together | A |
| Greatest of Norway's dead | B |
| More than the hush of churches | C |
| Is the hush where Ibsen lies | D |
| Columned by poplars and birches | D |
| Vaulted by glorious skies | D |
| Over that heart undaunted | E |
| Soars a shaft of labrador | F |
| Black yet beauty haunted | G |
| Marked with the hammer of Thor | F |
| But what memorial lifted | G |
| To Bj rnson loved of the folk | H |
| We sought till our quest had drifted | G |
| Where tender voices spoke | H |
| Where never a rail encloses | D |
| That resting place of fame | I |
| A little plot of roses | D |
| Nameless nor needing name | I |
