Ave Atque Vale: 14 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDE| Therefore he too now at thy soul's sunsetting | A |
| God of all suns and songs he too bends down | B |
| To mix his laurel with thy cypress crown | B |
| And save thy dust from blame and from forgetting | A |
| Therefore he too seeing all thou wert and art | C |
| Compassionate with sad and sacred heart | C |
| Mourns thee of many his children the last dead | D |
| And hallows with strange tears and alien sighs | E |
| Thine unmelodious mouth and sunless eyes | E |
| And over thine irrevocable head | D |
| Sheds light from the under skies | E |
