Requiem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB DEDEDE AFGFGF AHGHIH| Where faces are hueless where eyelids are dewless | A |
| Where passion is silent and hearts never crave | B |
| Where thought hath no theme and where sleep hath no dream | C |
| In patience and peace thou art gone to thy grave | B |
| Gone where no warning can wake thee to morning | D |
| Dead tho' a thousand hands stretch'd out to save | B |
| - | |
| Thou cam'st to us sighing and singing and dying | D |
| How could it be otherwise fair as thou wert | E |
| Placidly fading and sinking and shading | D |
| At last to that shadow the latest desert | E |
| Wasting and waning but still still remaining | D |
| Alas for the hand that could deal the death hurt | E |
| - | |
| The Summer that brightens the Winter that whitens | A |
| The world and its voices the sea and the sky | F |
| The bloom of creation the tie of relation | G |
| All all is a blank to thine ear and thine eye | F |
| The ear may not listen the eye may not glisten | G |
| Nevermore waked by a smile or a sigh | F |
| - | |
| The tree that is rootless must ever be fruitless | A |
| And thou art alone in thy death and thy birth | H |
| No last loving token of wedded love broken | G |
| No sign of thy singleness sweetness and worth | H |
| Lost as the flower that is drowned in the shower | I |
| Fall'n like a snowflake to melt in the earth | H |
