As Toilsome I Wander'd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMNOAJAS TOILSOME I wander'd Virginia's woods | A |
To the music of rustling leaves kick'd by my feet for 'twas | B |
autumn | C |
I mark'd at the foot of a tree the grave of a soldier | D |
Mortally wounded he and buried on the retreat easily all could I | E |
understand | F |
The halt of a mid day hour when up no time to lose yet this sign | G |
left | H |
On a tablet scrawl'd and nail'd on the tree by the grave | I |
Bold cautious true and my loving comrade | J |
- | |
Long long I muse then on my way go wandering | K |
Many a changeful season to follow and many a scene of life | L |
Yet at times through changeful season and scene abrupt alone or in | M |
the crowded street | N |
Comes before me the unknown soldier's grave comes the inscription | O |
rude in Virginia's woods | A |
Bold cautious true and my loving comrade | J |
