Death's Songsters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEF GHGHII| When first that horse within whose populous womb | A |
| The birth was death o'ershadowed Troy with fate | B |
| Her elders dubious of its Grecian freight | B |
| Brought Helen there to sing the songs of home | C |
| She whispered 'Friends I am alone come come ' | D |
| Then crouched within Ulysses waxed afraid | E |
| And on his comrades' quivering mouths he laid | E |
| His hands and held them till the voice was dumb | F |
| - | |
| The same was he who lashed to his own mast | G |
| There where the sea flowers screen the charnel caves | H |
| Beside the sirens' singing island pass'd | G |
| Till sweetness failed along the inveterate waves | H |
| Say soul are songs of Death no heaven to thee | I |
| Nor shames her lip the cheek of Victory | I |
