Ave Atque Vale: 16 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEFE| And now no sacred staff shall break in blossom | A |
| No choral salutation lure to light | B |
| A spirit sick with perfume and sweet night | B |
| And love's tired eyes and hands and barren bosom | A |
| There is no help for these things none to mend | C |
| And none to mar not all our songs O friend | C |
| Will make death clear or make life durable | D |
| Howbeit with rose and ivy and wild vine | E |
| And with wild notes about this dust of thine | E |
| At least I fill the place where white dreams dwell | F |
| And wreathe an unseen shrine | E |
