Life And Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

I THOUGHT of death beside the lonely seaA
That went beyond the limit of my sightB
Seeming the image of his masteryA
The semblance of his huge and gloomy mightB
-
But firm beneath the sea went the great earthC
With sober bulk and adamantine holdD
The water but a mantle for her girthC
That played about her splendor fold on foldD
-
And life seemed like this dear familiar shoreE
That stretched from the wet sand s last wavy creaseF
Beneath the sea s remote and sombre roarE
To inland stillness and the wilds of peaceF
-
Death seems triumphant only here and thereG
Life is the sovereign presence everywhereG
