Epitaph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE| He lived he played a little laughing sprite | A |
| Why Nature didst thou snatch him from the light | A |
| Hast thou not myriad birds within thy bowers | B |
| Stars and great woods blue skies and ocean wild | C |
| Why then from his lone mother snatch the child | C |
| And hid him underneath the bed of flowers | B |
| - | |
| This one child more cannot enlarge thy reign | D |
| Star spangled Nature thou no joy dost gain | D |
| The Mother's heart so many cares oppress | E |
| That heart whose joys do equal pangs create | F |
| Abyss as thou O Nature deep and great | F |
| Is empty made and void by this child less | E |
