Ave Atque Vale: 11 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDE| I among these I also in such station | A |
| As when the pyre was charred and piled the sods | B |
| And offering to the dead made and their gods | B |
| The old mourners had standing to make libation | A |
| I stand and to the gods and to the dead | C |
| Do reverence without prayer or praise and shed | C |
| Offering to these unknown the gods of gloom | D |
| And what of honey and spice my seedlands bear | E |
| And what I may of fruits in this chilled air | E |
| And lay Orestes like across the tomb | D |
| A curl of severed hair | E |
