Mourning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB| Alas my brother the cry of the mourners of old | A |
| That cried on each other | B |
| All crying aloud on the dead as the death note rolled | A |
| Alas my brother | B |
| - | |
| As flashes of dawn that mists from an east wind smother | B |
| With fold upon fold | A |
| The past years gleam that linked us one with another | B |
| - | |
| Time sunders hearts as of brethren whose eyes behold | A |
| No more their mother | B |
| But a cry sounds yet from the shrine whose fires wax cold | A |
| Alas my brother | B |
