Life Or Death? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECCE| Is there a secret Joy that may not weep | A |
| For every flower that ends its little span | B |
| For every child that groweth up to man | B |
| For every captive bird a cage doth keep | A |
| For every aching eye that went to sleep | A |
| Long ages back when other eyes began | B |
| To see and know and love as now they can | B |
| Unravelling God's wonders heap by heap | A |
| Or doth the Past lie 'mid Eternity | C |
| In charnel dens that rot and reek alway | D |
| A dismal light for those that go astray | E |
| A pit of foul deformity to be | C |
| Beauty a dreadful source of growth for thee | C |
| When thou wouldst lift thine eyes to greet the day | E |
