The Common Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHGIEHJLast night beneath the foreign stars I stood | A |
And saw the thoughts of those at home go by | B |
To the great grave upon the hill of blood | C |
Upon the darkness they went visibly | D |
Each in the vesture of its own distress | E |
Among them there came One frail as a sigh | B |
And like a creature of the wilderness | F |
Dug with her bleeding hands She neither cried | G |
Nor wept nor did she see the many stark | H |
And dead that lay unburied at her side | G |
All night she toiled and at that time of dawn | I |
When Day and Night do change their More and Less | E |
And Day is More I saw the melting Dark | H |
Stir to the last and knew she laboured on | J |
