Life In Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| He 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 |
