Died Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAABBAEFGGFE| Not by the death that kills the body Nay | A |
| By that which even Christ bade us to fear | B |
| Hath died my dead | C |
| Ah me if on a bier | D |
| I could but see him lifeless stretched to day | A |
| I 'd bathe his face with tears of joy and lay | A |
| My cheek to his in anguish which were near | B |
| To ecstasy if I could hold him dear | B |
| In death as life Mere separations weigh | A |
| As dust in balances of love The death | E |
| That kills comes only by dishonor Vain | F |
| To chide me vain And weaker to implore | G |
| O thou once loved so well loved now no more | G |
| There is no resurrection for such slain | F |
| No miracle of God could give thee breath | E |
