Burial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD| Mine is a body that should die at sea | A |
| And have for a grave instead of a grave | B |
| Six feet deep and the length of me | A |
| All the water that is under the wave | B |
| - | |
| And terrible fishes to seize my flesh | C |
| Such as a living man might fear | D |
| And eat me while I am firm and fresh | C |
| Not wait till I've been dead for a year | D |
