Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADDEFEF| Not as a tyrant cruel hard and cold | A |
| A monarch unrelenting and severe | B |
| Think I of Death whom all the many fear | B |
| And walk in daily terror of I hold | A |
| The thought of one who doth the weary fold | A |
| With gentle arms and lays them on the bier | C |
| Of earth at rest and peace as fall the sere | B |
| And withered autumn leaves But from of old | A |
| Hath not the tree new leaves put forth So may | D |
| The soul fresh forms assume another day | D |
| Thus testifies the miracle of spring | E |
| Wherewith the leafless brumal world is rife | F |
| Who can the bare earth's time of blossoming | E |
| Behold and say Death is the end of Life | F |
