Death-watches Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFFThe Spring spreads one green lap of flowers | A |
Which Autumn buries at the fall | B |
No chilling showers of Autumn hours | A |
Can stay them or recall | B |
Winds sing a dirge while earth lays out of sight | C |
Her garment of delight | C |
- | |
The cloven East brings forth the sun | D |
The cloven West doth bury him | E |
What time his gorgeous race is run | D |
And all the world grows dim | E |
A funeral moon is lit in heaven's hollow | F |
And pale the star lights follow | F |
