Death (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDDCYes there is one who makes us all lay down | A |
Our mushroom vanities our speculations | B |
Our well set theories and calculations | B |
Our workman's jacket or our monarch's crown | A |
To him alike the country and the town | A |
Barbaric hordes or civilized nations | B |
Men of all names and ranks and occupations | B |
Squire parson lawyer Jones or Smith or Brown | A |
He stops the carter the uplifted whip | C |
Falls dreamily among the horses' straw | D |
He stops the helmsman and the gallant ship | C |
Holdeth to westward by another law | D |
No one will see him no one ever saw | D |
But he sees all and lets not any slip | C |
