Rondel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABAB ABBAAB| I follow tottering in the funeral train | A |
| That bears my body to the welcoming grave | B |
| As those I mourn not that entomb the brave | B |
| But smile as those that lay aside the vain | A |
| - | |
| To me it is a thing of poor disdain | A |
| A clod I would not give a sigh to save | B |
| I follow careless in the funeral train | A |
| My outworn raiment to the cleansing grave | B |
| - | |
| I follow to the grave with growing pain | A |
| Then sudden cry Let Earth take what she gave | B |
| And turn in gladness from the yawning cave | B |
| Glad even for those whose tears yet flow amain | A |
| They also follow in their funeral train | A |
| Outworn necessities to the welcoming grave | B |
