Ave Atque Vale: 17 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADDEFFEF| Sleep and if life was bitter to thee pardon | A |
| If sweet give thanks thou hast no more to live | B |
| And to give thanks is good and to forgive | C |
| Out of the mystic and the mournful garden | A |
| Where all day through thine hands in barren braid | D |
| Wove the sick flowers of secrecy and shade | D |
| Green buds of sorrow and sin and remnants grey | E |
| Sweet smelling pale with poison sanguine hearted | F |
| Passions that sprang from sleep and thoughts that started | F |
| Shall death not bring us all as thee one day | E |
| Among the days departed | F |
