Giorno Dei Morti Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB AAAA AAAA| Along the avenue of cypresses | A |
| All in their scarlet cloaks and surplices | A |
| Of linen go the chanting choristers | A |
| The priests in gold and black the villagers | A |
| - | |
| And all along the path to the cemetery | B |
| The round dark heads of men crowd silently | B |
| And black scarved faces of womenfolk wistfully | B |
| Watch at the banner of death and the mystery | B |
| - | |
| And at the foot of a grave a father stands | A |
| With sunken head and forgotten folded hands | A |
| And at the foot of a grave a mother kneels | A |
| With pale shut face nor either hears nor feels | A |
| - | |
| The coming of the chanting choristers | A |
| Between the avenue of cypresses | A |
| The silence of the many villagers | A |
| The candle flames beside the surplices | A |
