I Dug Beneath The Cypress Shade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| I dug beneath the cypress shade | A |
| What well might seem an elfin's grave | B |
| And every pledge in earth I laid | A |
| That erst thy false affection gave | B |
| - | |
| I pressed them down the sod beneath | C |
| I placed one mossy stone above | D |
| And twined the rose's fading wreath | C |
| Around the sepulchre of love | D |
| - | |
| Frail as thy love the flowers were dead | E |
| Ere yet the evening sun was set | F |
| But years shall see the cypress spread | E |
| Immutable as my regret | F |
