Burial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGH GHI| If on some woebegone night | A |
| A generous Christian soul | B |
| Behind an old garbage dump might | A |
| Drop your proud corpse in a hole | B |
| - | |
| When the chaste stars are nodding their heads | C |
| And closing their eyes to the earth | D |
| There the spider will weave her web | E |
| While the viper is giving birth | D |
| - | |
| You will listen the whole long year | F |
| Above your cursed bones | G |
| To wolvish howls and then | H |
| - | |
| To starving witches' moans | G |
| Frolics of dirty old men | H |
| Plottings of black racketeers | I |
