I Died For Beauty But Was Scarce Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJK

I died for beauty but was scarceA
Adjusted in the tombB
When one who died for truth was lainC
In an adjoining roomB
-
He questioned softly why I failedD
'For beauty ' I repliedE
'And I for truth the two are oneF
We brethren are ' he saidG
-
And so as kinsmen met a nightH
We talked between the roomsI
Until the moss had reached our lipsJ
And covered up our namesK
