The Forsaken Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJIKLMLNOPO| The dead are in their silent graves | A |
| And the dew is cold above | B |
| And the living weep and sigh | C |
| Over dust that once was love | B |
| Once I only wept the dead | D |
| But now the living cause my pain | E |
| How couldst thou steal me from my tears | F |
| To leave me to my tears again | G |
| My Mother rests beneath the sod | H |
| Her rest is calm and very deep | I |
| I wish'd that she could see our loves | J |
| But now I gladden in her sleep | I |
| Last night unbound my raven locks | K |
| The morning saw them turned to gray | L |
| Once they were black and well beloved | M |
| But thou art changed and so are they | L |
| The useless lock I gave thee once | N |
| To gaze upon and think of me | O |
| Was ta'en with smiles but this was torn | P |
| In sorrow that I send to thee | O |
