Burial Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCDMine 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 |
