Life And Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GGI THOUGHT of death beside the lonely sea | A |
That went beyond the limit of my sight | B |
Seeming the image of his mastery | A |
The semblance of his huge and gloomy might | B |
- | |
But firm beneath the sea went the great earth | C |
With sober bulk and adamantine hold | D |
The water but a mantle for her girth | C |
That played about her splendor fold on fold | D |
- | |
And life seemed like this dear familiar shore | E |
That stretched from the wet sand s last wavy crease | F |
Beneath the sea s remote and sombre roar | E |
To inland stillness and the wilds of peace | F |
- | |
Death seems triumphant only here and there | G |
Life is the sovereign presence everywhere | G |
