Lonely Burial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEDEFGFGDD| There were not many at that lonely place | A |
| Where two scourged hills met in a little plain | B |
| The wind cried loud in gusts then low again | C |
| Three pines strained darkly runners in a race | A |
| Unseen by any Toward the further woods | D |
| A dim harsh noise of voices rose and ceased | E |
| We were most silent in those solitudes | D |
| Then sudden as a flame the black robed priest | E |
| The clotted earth piled roughly up about | F |
| The hacked red oblong of the new made thing | G |
| Short words in swordlike Latin and a rout | F |
| Of dreams most impotent unwearying | G |
| Then like a blind door shut on a carouse | D |
| The terrible bareness of the soul's last house | D |
