Ave Atque Vale: 18 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDE| For thee O now a silent soul my brother | A |
| Take at my hands this garland and farewell | B |
| Thin is the leaf and chill the wintry smell | B |
| And chill the solemn earth a fatal mother | A |
| With sadder than the Niobean womb | C |
| And in the hollow of her breasts a tomb | C |
| Content thee howsoe'er whose days are done | D |
| There lies not any troublous thing before | E |
| Nor sight nor sound to war against thee more | E |
| For whom all winds are quiet as the sun | D |
| All waters as the shore | E |
