God's Acre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC BBDDED| Because we felt there could not be | A |
| A mowing in reality | A |
| So white and feathery blown and gay | B |
| With blossoms of wild caraway | B |
| I said to Celia Let us trace | C |
| The secret of this pleasant place | C |

| We knew some deeper beauty lay | B |
| Below the bloom of caraway | B |

| Rough wooden shingles row on row | E |
| And God's name written there 'John Doe' | D |
