To D-, Dead By Her Own Hand Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KBLMD| My dear I wonder if before the end | A |
| You ever thought about a children s game | B |
| I m sure you must have played it too in which | C |
| You ran along a narrow garden wall | D |
| Pretending it to be a mountain ledge | E |
| So steep a snowy darkness fell away | F |
| On either side to deeps invisible | G |
| And when you felt your balance being lost | H |
| You jumped because you feared to fall and thought | I |
| For only an instant That was when I died | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| That was a life ago And now you ve gone | K |
| Who would no longer play the grown ups game | B |
| Where balanced on the ledge above the dark | L |
| You go on running and you don t look down | M |
| Nor ever jump because you fear to fall | D |
