Laus Mortis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBA DAAD EE| The imperishable phantoms Love and Fame | A |
| Nor Beauty burning on the mist and mire | B |
| A fugitive uncapturable fire | C |
| Nor God that is a darkness and a name | A |
| Not these not these my choric dreams acclaim | A |
| But Death the last and ultimate desire | C |
| Great Death I praise with litany and lyre | B |
| And somber prayer implacably the same | A |
| - | |
| O incommunicable hope that lies | D |
| Deep in despair as tapers that illume | A |
| Some fearful fane's arcanic sacred gloom | A |
| O solace of all weary hearts and wise | D |
| - | |
| The dream which Satan hath for anodyne | E |
| Which is to God a sweet and secret wine | E |
