Remorse After Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFFG HGE G I| When sullen beauty you will sleep and have | A |
| As resting place a fine black marble tomb | B |
| When for a boudoir in your manor home | C |
| You have a hollow pit a sodden cave | D |
| - | |
| When stone now heavy on your fearful breast | E |
| And loins once supple in their tempered fire | F |
| Will stop your heart from beating and desire | F |
| And keep your straying feet from wantonness | G |
| - | |
| The Tomb who knows what yearning is about | H |
| The Tomb grasps what the poet has to say | G |
| Will question you these nights you cannot rest | E |
| - | |
| 'Vain courtesan how could you live that way | G |
| And not have known what all the dead cry out ' | - |
| And like remorse the worm will gnaw your flesh | I |
