The Common Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHGIEHJ

Last night beneath the foreign stars I stoodA
And saw the thoughts of those at home go byB
To the great grave upon the hill of bloodC
Upon the darkness they went visiblyD
Each in the vesture of its own distressE
Among them there came One frail as a sighB
And like a creature of the wildernessF
Dug with her bleeding hands She neither criedG
Nor wept nor did she see the many starkH
And dead that lay unburied at her sideG
All night she toiled and at that time of dawnI
When Day and Night do change their More and LessE
And Day is More I saw the melting DarkH
Stir to the last and knew she laboured onJ
