At Stratford-upon-avon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABABCDBCE| Thus spake his dust so seemed it as I read | A |
| The words Good friend for Jesus' sake forbeare | B |
| Poor ghost To digg the dust enclos d heare | B |
| Then came the malediction on the head | A |
| Of whoso dare disturb the sacred dead | A |
| Outside the mavis whistled strong and clear | B |
| The winding Avon murmured in its bed | A |
| But in the solemn Stratford church the air | B |
| Was chill and dank and on the foot worn tomb | C |
| The evening shadows deepened momently | D |
| Then a great awe fell on me standing there | B |
| As if some speechless presence in the gloom | C |
| Was hovering and fain would speak with me | E |
