The Marble Tablet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB ACACC DEDEE A| There it stands though alas what a little of her | A |
| Shows in its cold white look | B |
| Not her glance glide or smile not a tittle of her | A |
| Voice like the purl of a brook | B |
| Not her thoughts that you read like a book | B |
| - | |
| It may stand for her once in November | A |
| When first she breathed witless of all | C |
| Or in heavy years she would remember | A |
| When circumstance held her in thrall | C |
| Or at last when she answered her call | C |
| - | |
| Nothing more The still marble date graven | D |
| Gives all that it can tersely lined | E |
| That one has at length found the haven | D |
| Which every one other will find | E |
| With silence on what shone behind | E |
| - | |
| St Juliot September | A |
