Passer Mortuus Est Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DDED FGHG

Death devours all lovely thingsA
Lesbia with her sparrowB
Shares the darkness presentlyC
Every bed is narrowB
-
Unremembered as old rainD
Dries the sheer libationD
And the little petulant handE
Is an annotationD
-
After all my erstwhile dearF
My no longer cherishedG
Need we say it was not loveH
Now that love is perishedG
