A Gravestone Upon The Floor In The Cloisters Of Worcester Cathedral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADBEFGF| Miserrimus and neither name nor date | A |
| Prayer text or symbol graven upon the stone | B |
| Nought but that word assigned to the unknown | B |
| That solitary word to separate | A |
| From all and cast a cloud around the fate | A |
| Of him who lies beneath Most wretched one | C |
| 'Who' chose his epitaph Himself alone | B |
| Could thus have dared the grave to agitate | A |
| And claim among the dead this awful crown | D |
| Nor doubt that He marked also for his own | B |
| Close to these cloistral steps a burial place | E |
| That every foot might fall with heavier tread | F |
| Trampling upon his vileness Stranger pass | G |
| Softly To save the contrite Jesus bled | F |
