Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADCDB EFGHEGHBEB| Grief is like a child | A |
| Led with relentless hand | B |
| By a strange nurse whose face | C |
| Seems never to have smiled | A |
| Whose onward gaze severe | D |
| Slackens not nor her pace | C |
| Nor that child's faltering fear | D |
| Stoops she to understand | B |
| - | |
| So strides the world while grief | E |
| Unwilling is borne on | F |
| With ever lingering mind | G |
| Through the strange days alone | H |
| Oh like a fluttering leaf | E |
| On the ways of the strong wind | G |
| Or pebbles helpless thrown | H |
| By night on a wild strand | B |
| Lost are the thoughts of grief | E |
| That none can understand | B |
