Time-s Defence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| Why am I deemed an enemy of men | A |
| Who would beyond Life's limit life prolong | B |
| If they believe that they will live again | A |
| How can it be that I have done them wrong | B |
| Is it not I who rout the Winter snows | C |
| And Spring's melodious symphonies renew | D |
| Bring back the blush unto the budding rose | C |
| And christen Summer's birth with morning dew | D |
| 'Tis I that ring the silvery nuptial peal | E |
| When streams the Bridal up the rustic nave | F |
| And if around the bier where mourners kneel | E |
| I toll the passing bell and dig the grave | F |
| From death and grief I half dispel the gloom | G |
| Inscribing words of hope upon the loved one's tomb '' | H |
