A Brown Girl Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD

With two white roses on her breastsA
White candles at head and feetB
Dark Madonna of the grave she restsA
Lord Death has found her sweetB
-
Her mother pawned her wedding ringC
To lay her out in whiteD
She'd be so proud she'd dance and singC
to see herself tonightD
