The Vase Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFDEF| Around the vase of Life at your slow pace | A |
| He has not crept but turned it with his hands | B |
| And all its sides already understands | B |
| There girt one breathes alert for some great race | A |
| Whose road runs far by sands and fruitful space | A |
| Who laughs yet through the jolly throng has pass'd | C |
| Who weeps nor stays for weeping who at last | C |
| A youth stands somewhere crowned with silent face | A |
| - | |
| And he has filled this vase with wine for blood | D |
| With blood for tears with spice for burning vow | E |
| With watered flowers for buried love most fit | F |
| And would have cast it shattered to the flood | D |
| Yet in Fate's name has kept it whole which now | E |
| Stands empty till his ashes fall in it | F |
