Upon Perusing The Forgoing Epistle Thirty Years After Its Composition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEEFFGGHI| Soon did he Almighty Giver of all rest | A |
| Take those dear young Ones to a fearless nest | A |
| And in Death's arms has long reposed the Friend | B |
| For whom this simple Register was penned | B |
| Thanks to the moth that spared it for our eyes | C |
| And Strangers even the slighted Scroll may prize | C |
| Moved by the touch of kindred sympathies | D |
| For save the calm repentance sheds o'er strife | E |
| Raised by remembrances of misused life | E |
| The light from past endeavours purely willed | F |
| And by Heaven's favour happily fulfilled | F |
| Save hope that we yet bound to Earth may share | G |
| The joys of the Departed what so fair | G |
| As blameless pleasure not without some tears | H |
| Reviewed through Love's transparent veil of years | I |
