Nada Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| This wakeful death affords not any rift | A |
| where root of weed or blossom cleaves the tomb | B |
| Ungrown as yet no yewen bowers lift | A |
| bringing serene misericordal gloom | B |
| upon this sepulture adjust and bare | C |
| writ with a legend plain to one alone | D |
| whose voice could quicken the unvital air | C |
| recalling Lazarus from his room of stone | D |
| - | |
| Oblivion's river flows in other lands | E |
| than this where memory feeds a mordant spring | F |
| the walking dead beseech with parching hands | E |
| the cool far shadow of the raven's wing | F |
| and leaning from the mouldered bed of lust | G |
| love's skeleton writes Nada in the dust | G |
