Death And Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB

Death and birth should dwell not near togetherA
Wealth keeps house not even for shame with dearthB
Fate doth ill to link in one brief tetherA
Death and birthB
-
Harsh the yoke that binds them strange the girthB
Seems that girds them each with each yet whetherA
Death be best who knows or life on earthB
-
Ill the rose red and the sable featherA
Blend in one crown's plume as grief with mirthB
Ill met still are warm and wintry weatherA
Death and birthB
