Love And Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDAEAFGHGIJEWhat time the mighty moon was gathering light | A |
Love paced the thymy plots of Paradise | B |
And all about him roll'd his lustrous eyes | C |
When turning round a cassia full in view | D |
Death walking all alone beneath a yew | D |
And talking to himself first met his sight | A |
'You must begone ' said Death 'these walks are mine ' | E |
Love wept and spread his sheeny vans for flight | A |
Yet ere he parted said 'This hour is thine | F |
Thou art the shadow of life and as the tree | G |
Stands in the sun and shadows all beneath | H |
So in the light of great eternity | G |
Life eminent creates the shade of death | I |
The shadow passeth when the tree shall fall | J |
But I shall reign for ever over all ' | E |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
