Prescience Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCBC DDED| The new moon hung in the sky the sun was low in the west | A |
| And my betrothed and I in the churchyard paused to rest | A |
| Happy maiden and lover dreaming the old dream over | B |
| The light winds wandered by and robins chirped from the nest | A |
| - | |
| And lo in the meadow sweet was the grave of a little child | C |
| With a crumbling stone at the feet and the ivy running wild | C |
| Tangled ivy and clover folding it over and over | B |
| Close to my sweetheart's feet was the little mound up piled | C |
| - | |
| Stricken with nameless fears she shrank and clung to me | D |
| And her eyes were filled with tears for a sorrow I did not see | D |
| Lightly the winds were blowing softly her tears were flowing | E |
| Tears for the unknown years and a sorrow that was to be | D |
