We Needs Must Be Divided In The Tomb Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DDDDDD| We needs must be divided in the tomb | A |
| For I would die among the hills of Spain | B |
| And o'er the treeless melancholy plain | B |
| Await the coming of the final gloom | A |
| But thou O pitiful wilt find scant room | A |
| Among thy kindred by the northern main | B |
| And fade into the drifting mist again | C |
| The hemlocks' shadow or the pines' perfume | A |
| - | |
| Let gallants lie beside their ladies' dust | D |
| In one cold grave with mortal love inurned | D |
| Let the sea part our ashes if it must | D |
| The souls fled thence which love immortal burned | D |
| For they were wedded without bond of lust | D |
| And nothing of our heart to earth returned | D |
