O Wholesome Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| O Wholesome Death thy sombre funeral car | A |
| Looms ever dimly on the lengthening way | B |
| Of life while lengthening still in sad array | B |
| My deeds in long procession go that are | A |
| As mourners of the man they helped to mar | A |
| I see it all in dreams such as waylay | B |
| The wandering fancy when the solid day | B |
| Has fallen in smoldering ruins and night's star | A |
| Aloft there with its steady point of light | C |
| Mastering the eye has wrapped the brain in sleep | D |
| Ah when I die and planets take their flight | C |
| Above my grave still let my spirit keep | D |
| Sometimes its vigil of divine remorse | E |
| 'Midst pity praise or blame heaped o'er my corse | E |
