Life And Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| I 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 |
