Bereavement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGFHH| Whose was that gentle voice that whispering sweet | A |
| Promised methought long days of bliss sincere | B |
| Soothing it stole on my deluded ear | C |
| Most like soft music that might sometimes cheat | A |
| Thoughts dark and drooping 'Twas the voice of Hope | D |
| Of love and social scenes it seemed to speak | E |
| Of truth of friendship of affection meek | E |
| That oh poor friend might to life's downward slope | D |
| Lead us in peace and bless our latest hours | F |
| Ah me the prospect saddened as she sung | G |
| Loud on my startled ear the death bell rung | G |
| Chill darkness wrapt the pleasurable bowers | F |
| Whilst Horror pointing to yon breathless clay | H |
| No peace be thine exclaimed away away | H |
