The Dead Village Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEDE| Here there is death But even here they say | A |
| Here where the dull sun shines this afternoon | B |
| As desolate as ever the dead moon | B |
| Did glimmer on dead Sardis men were gay | A |
| And there were little children here to play | A |
| With small soft hands that once did keep in tune | B |
| The strings that stretch from heaven till too soon | B |
| The change came and the music passed away | A |
| - | |
| Now there is nothing but the ghosts of things | C |
| No life no love no children and no men | D |
| And over the forgotten place there clings | C |
| The strange and unrememberable light | E |
| That is in dreams The music failed and then | D |
| God frowned and shut the village from His sight | E |
