Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC| Mourn not my friends that we are growing old | A |
| A fresher birth brings every new year in | B |
| Years are Christ's napkins to wipe off the sin | B |
| See now I'll be to you an angel bold | A |
| My plumes are ruffled and they shake with cold | A |
| Yet with a trumpet blast I will begin | B |
| Ah no your listening ears not thus I win | B |
| Yet hear sweet sisters brothers be consoled | A |
| Behind me comes a shining one indeed | C |
| Christ's friend who from life's cross did take him down | D |
| And set upon his day night's starry crown | D |
| Death say'st thou Nay thine be no caitiff creed | C |
| A woman angel see in long white gown | D |
| The mother of our youth she maketh speed | C |
