Oh! Breathe Not His Name Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD| Oh breathe not his name let it sleep in the shade | A |
| Where cold and unhonour'd his relics are laid | A |
| Sad silent and dark be the tears that we shed | B |
| As the night dew that falls on the grass o'er his head | B |
| - | |
| But the night dew that falls though in silence it weeps | C |
| Shall brighten with verdure the grave where he sleeps | C |
| And the tear that we shed though in secret it rolls | D |
| Shall long keep his memory green in our souls | D |
