When I Am Dead, My Dearest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGHGIDEDWhen I am dead my dearest | A |
Sing no sad songs for me | B |
Plant thou no roses at my head | C |
Nor shady cypress tree | B |
Be the green grass above me | B |
With showers and dewdrops wet | D |
And if thou wilt remember | E |
And if thou wilt forget | D |
- | |
I shall not see the shadows | F |
I shall not feel the rain | G |
I shall not hear the nightingale | H |
Sing on as if in pain | G |
And dreaming through the twilight | I |
That doth not rise nor set | D |
Haply I may remember | E |
And haply may forget | D |
