The Auction Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF| Who'll bid Who'll bid the question rang | A |
| Where throned Death was calling | B |
| I seemed to sense his charnel tang | A |
| Mephitic air appalling | B |
| And every tick I heard the clang | A |
| Of his steel hammer falling | B |
| - | |
| Come great men who upon our earth | C |
| Had held a lofty mission | D |
| The spacious ones of lordly birth | C |
| The cunning politician | D |
| And gentlemen of holy worth | C |
| Or wondrous erudition | D |
| - | |
| One buyer in a corner trolls | E |
| Beyond the ghastly revel | F |
| He buys by lots or single souls | E |
| His voice is low and level | F |
| And paltry is the price he doles | E |
| The buyer is the Devil | F |
