Life In Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEEDHe should have followed who goes forth before us | A |
Last born of us in life in death first born | B |
The last to lift up eyes against the morn | B |
The first to see the sunset Life that bore us | A |
Perchance for death to comfort and restore us | A |
Of him hath left us here awhile forlorn | B |
For him is as a garment overworn | B |
And time and change with suns and stars in chorus | A |
Silent But if beyond all change or time | C |
A law more just more equal more sublime | C |
Than sways the surge of life's loud sterile sea | D |
Sways that still world whose peace environs him | E |
Where death lies dead as night when stars wax dim | E |
Above all thought or hope of ours is he | D |
