Rhyme Scheme: ABA ACA ACA ACA ACA AAAA

By the pale marge of AcheronA
Me thinks we shall pass restfullyB
Beyond the scope of any sunA
-
There all men hie them one by oneA
Far from the stress of earth and seaC
By the pale marge of AcheronA
-
'Tis well when life and love is doneA
'Tis very well at last to beC
Beyond the scope of any sunA
-
No busy voices there shall stunA
Our ears the stream flows silentlyC
By the pale marge of AcheronA
-
There is the crown of labour wonA
The sleep of immortalityC
Beyond the scope of any sunA
-
Life of thy gifts I will have noneA
My queen is that PersephoneA
By the pale marge of AcheronA
Beyond the scope of any sunA
