Last Service Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFCEGHIJKLEEMNOE O| Though cranes and bulldozers came | A |
| yanked free marble and creek stones | B |
| like loose teeth and then shovels | C |
| unearthed coffins and Christ's | D |
| stained glass face no longer paned | E |
| windows but like the steeple | F |
| piano bell and hymnals | C |
| followed that rolling graveyard | E |
| over the quick dying streams | G |
| the soon obsolete bridges | H |
| they still congregated there | I |
| wading then crossing in boats | J |
| those last Sunday nights their farms | K |
| already lost in the lake | L |
| nothing but that brief island | E |
| left of their world as they lit | E |
| the church with candles and sang | M |
| from memory deep as water | N |
| old hymns of resurrection | O |
| before leaving that high ground | E |
| where the dead had once risen | O |
