Epitaph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DD EE FF| The first time I died I walked my ways | A |
| I followed the file of limping days | A |
| - | |
| I held me tall with my head flung up | B |
| But I dared not look on the new moon's cup | B |
| - | |
| I dared not look on the sweet young rain | C |
| And between my ribs was a gleaming pain | C |
| - | |
| The next time I died they laid me deep | D |
| They spoke worn words to hallow my sleep | D |
| - | |
| They tossed me petals they wreathed me fern | E |
| They weighted me down with a marble urn | E |
| - | |
| And I lie here warm and I lie here dry | F |
| And watch the worms slip by slip by | F |
