A Year After Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBADEFGEF| If blood throbs yet in this that was thy face | A |
| O thou whose soul was full of devil's faith | B |
| If in thy flesh the worm's bite slackeneth | B |
| In some acute red pause of iron days | C |
| Arise now gird thee get thee on thy ways | C |
| Breathe off the worm that crawls and fears not breath | B |
| King it may be thou shalt prevail on death | B |
| King it may be thy soul shall find out grace | A |
| O spirit that hast eased the place of Cain | D |
| Weep now and howl yea weep now sore for this | E |
| That was thy kingdom hath spat out its king | F |
| Wilt thou plead now with God behold again | G |
| Thy prayer for thy son's sake is turned to a hiss | E |
| Thy mouth to a snake's whose slime outlives the sting | F |
