The Remorse Of The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFE FGG| O shadowy Beauty mine when thou shalt sleep | A |
| In the deep heart of a black marble tomb | B |
| When thou for mansion and for bower shalt keep | A |
| Only one rainy cave of hollow gloom | B |
| - | |
| And when the stone upon thy trembling breast | C |
| And on thy straight sweet body's supple grace | D |
| Crushes thy will and keeps thy heart at rest | C |
| And holds those feet from their adventurous race | D |
| - | |
| Then the deep grave who shares my reverie | E |
| For the deep grave is aye the poet's friend | F |
| During long nights when sleep is far from thee | E |
| - | |
| Shall whisper Ah thou didst not comprehend | F |
| The dead wept thus thou woman frail and weak | G |
| And like remorse the worm shall gnaw thy cheek | G |
