On The Death Of Miss Fanny V. Apthorp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGHIJKLDMKNODP FDQCRS| 'Tis difficult to feel that she is dead | A |
| Her presence like the shadow of a wing | B |
| That is just given to the upward sky | C |
| Lingers upon us We can hear her voice | D |
| And for her step we listen and the eye | C |
| Looks for her wonted coming with a strange | E |
| Forgetful earnestness We cannot feel | F |
| That she will no more come that from her cheek | G |
| The delicate flush has faded and the light | H |
| Dead in her soft dark eye and on her lip | I |
| That was so exquisitely pure the dew | J |
| Of the damp grave has fallen Who so lov'd | K |
| Is left among the living Who hath walk'd | L |
| The world with such a winning loveliness | D |
| And on its bright brief journey gather'd up | M |
| Such treasures of affection She was lov'd | K |
| Only as idols are She was the pride | N |
| Of her familiar sphere the daily joy | O |
| Of all who on her gracefulness might gaze | D |
| And in the light and music of her way | P |
| Have a companion's portion Who could feel | F |
| While looking upon beauty such as hers | D |
| That it would ever perish It is like | Q |
| The melting of a star into the sky | C |
| While you are gazing on it or a dream | R |
| In its most ravishing sweetness rudely broken | S |
