My Midnight Meditation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FFGGH| Ill busi'd man why should'st thou take such care | A |
| To lengthen out thy life's short calendar | B |
| When ev'ry spectacle thou lookst upon | C |
| Presents and acts thy execution | D |
| Each drooping season and each flower doth cry | E |
| 'Fool as I fade and wither thou must die | E |
| - | |
| 'The beating of thy pulse when thou art well | F |
| Is just the tolling of thy Passing Bell | F |
| Night is thy Hearse whose sable Canopy | G |
| Covers alike deceased day and thee | G |
| And all those weeping dews which nightly fall | H |
| Are but the tears shed for thy funeral ' | - |
