Dance Of Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADEA FGH IJK| Death has taken me out for a swing | A |
| At first I didn't drop from the quickstep | B |
| In his dance and clogged right along | C |
| Until he drove the tempo up | B |
| - | |
| How swiftly was I pulled into being | A |
| The jumping jack the dancing chicken | D |
| Becoming nothing but a scream to God | E |
| With no hope of what He was thinking | A |
| - | |
| Then Death lifted me up high and spun me | F |
| Into the sky so God would be pleased with him | G |
| For he doesn't take what God doesn't give | H |
| - | |
| But suddenly he let his catch fall | I |
| For in the alphabet of the first silence | J |
| God has just two words for him Not today | K |
