Chorus Of The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHBIBEIJKLMKE NOPQJBRODDCC| And all returns to Thee alone eternal | A |
| And all Thee returning | B |
| Oh Death in Thy vast shadow | C |
| Simple and bare we languish | D |
| Not happy but from the anguish | D |
| Of life at last set free The night profoundly | E |
| Falls on the shaken spirit | F |
| And dark in dark confuses | G |
| The withered soul sourage and hope refuses | H |
| Spent and uncaring | B |
| Free now from sorrow and from fear for ever | I |
| We lie here undespairing | B |
| Through void eternity | E |
| We lived And as a phantom from a dream of terror | I |
| Wanders into the day | J |
| And draws across the speechless souls of children | K |
| A memory and a fear | L |
| We as we linger here | M |
| Are haunted still by life but fears of children | K |
| Haunt us not now What were we | E |
| What was that bitter point in time | N |
| That bore the name of life | O |
| Mysterious stupendous | P |
| Lost in our thought that hidden country lies | Q |
| As in our day of life there lay | J |
| The secret land of death And as from dying | B |
| Our living souls drew back so now they draw | R |
| Back from the flame of life | O |
| Simple and bare to languish | D |
| Not happy but not in anguish | D |
| For happiness we know | C |
| Fate upon life or death will not bestow | C |
