Condolence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCECE| They hurried here as soon as you had died | A |
| Their faces damp with haste and sympathy | B |
| And pressed my hand in theirs and smoothed my knee | B |
| And clicked their tongues and watched me mournful eyed | A |
| Gently they told me of that Other Side | A |
| How even then you waited there for me | B |
| And what ecstatic meeting ours would be | B |
| Moved by the lovely tale they broke and cried | A |
| - | |
| And when I smiled they told me I was brave | C |
| And they rejoiced that I was comforted | D |
| And left to tell of all the help they gave | C |
| But I had smiled to think how you the dead | E |
| So curiously preoccupied and grave | C |
| Would laugh could you have heard the things they said | E |
