When I Am Dead, My Dearest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGHGIDED

When I am dead my dearestA
Sing no sad songs for meB
Plant thou no roses at my headC
Nor shady cypress treeB
Be the green grass above meB
With showers and dewdrops wetD
And if thou wilt rememberE
And if thou wilt forgetD
-
I shall not see the shadowsF
I shall not feel the rainG
I shall not hear the nightingaleH
Sing on as if in painG
And dreaming through the twilightI
That doth not rise nor setD
Haply I may rememberE
And haply may forgetD
