Giorno Dei Morti Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBBB AAAA AAAAAlong 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 |
