On Hearing The News From Venice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBEEBFGFHGH I

The Death Of Robert BrowningA
Now dumb is he who waked the world to speakB
And voiceless hangs the world beside his bierC
Our words are sobs our cry of praise a tearD
We are the smitten mortal we the weakB
We see a spirit on Earth's loftiest peakB
Shine and wing hence the way he makes more clearE
See a great Tree of Life that never sereE
Dropped leaf for aught that age or storms might wreakB
Such ending is not Death such living showsF
What wide illumination brightness shedsG
From one big heart to conquer man's old foesF
The coward and the tyrant and the forceH
Of all those weedy monsters raising headsG
When Song is murk from springs of turbid sourceH
