In Memoriam A. H. H.: 44. How Fares It With The Happy Dead? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG| How fares it with the happy dead | A |
| For here the man is more and more | B |
| But he forgets the days before | B |
| God shut the doorways of his head | A |
| The days have vanish'd tone and tint | C |
| And yet perhaps the hoarding sense | D |
| Gives out at times he knows not whence | D |
| A little flash a mystic hint | C |
| And in the long harmonious years | E |
| If Death so taste Lethean springs | F |
| May some dim touch of earthly things | F |
| Surprise thee ranging with thy peers | E |
| - | |
| If such a dreamy touch should fall | G |
| O turn thee round resolve the doubt | H |
| My guardian angel will speak out | H |
| In that high place and tell thee all | G |
