The Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEDD| The heart of me's an empty thing that never stirs at all | A |
| For Moon shine or Spring time or a far bird's call | A |
| I only know 'tis living by a grief that shakes it so | B |
| Like an East wind in Autumn when the old nests blow | B |
| - | |
| Grey Eyes and Black Hair 'tis never you I blame | C |
| 'Tis long years and easy years since last I spoke your name | C |
| And I'm long past the knife thrust I got at wake or fair | D |
| Or looking past the lighted door and fancying you there | D |
| - | |
| Grey Eyes and Black Hair the grief is never this | E |
| I've long forgot the soft arms the first wild kiss | E |
| But Oh girl that tore my youth 'tis this I have to bear | D |
| If you were kneeling at my feet I'd neither stay nor care | D |
