A Woodland Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBA CDEFFD GGHHHG IIJJJI EEKKKE AAKKKA| White moons may come white moons may go | A |
| She sleeps where early blossoms blow | A |
| Knows nothing of the leafy June | B |
| That leans above her night and noon | B |
| Crowned now with sunbeam now with moon | B |
| Watching her roses grow | A |
| - | |
| The downy moth at twilight comes | C |
| And flutters round their honeyed blooms | D |
| Long lazy clouds like ivory | E |
| That isle the blue lagoons of sky | F |
| Redden to molten gold and dye | F |
| With flame the pine deep glooms | D |
| - | |
| Dew dripping from wet fern and leaf | G |
| The wind that shakes the violet's sheaf | G |
| The slender sound of water lone | H |
| That makes a harp string of some stone | H |
| And now a wood bird's glimmering moan | H |
| Seem whisperings there of grief | G |
| - | |
| Her garden where the lilacs grew | I |
| Where on old walls old roses blew | I |
| Head heavy with their mellow musk | J |
| Where when the beetle's drone was husk | J |
| She lingered in the dying dusk | J |
| No more shall know that knew | I |
| - | |
| Her orchard where the Spring and she | E |
| Stood listening to each bird and bee | E |
| That from its fragrant firmament | K |
| Snowed blossoms on her as she went | K |
| A blossom with their blossoms blent | K |
| No more her face shall see | E |
| - | |
| White moons may come white moons may go | A |
| She sleeps where early blossoms blow | A |
| Around her headstone many a seed | K |
| Shall sow itself and brier and weed | K |
| Shall grow to hide it from men's heed | K |
| And none will care or know | A |
