A Dying Bachelor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEEFG HIJEKLEEMI| His eyes deeming like a rainy cloud | A |
| The chime of his voice joisting in chide | B |
| For on his dying mattress he lay | C |
| Winking and blinking in hayfever like a dying soul in pain | D |
| - | |
| Though in his race | E |
| Gallant he was and chivalrous | E |
| But now like the Saviour on the cross he whispers | E |
| Asking for one thing he never had | F |
| As his life drifts away like a desert sand | G |
| - | |
| All his life | H |
| He worked to live and dine with love | I |
| His best he strifed to touch | J |
| But nevertheless | E |
| The heart of love he embraced not | K |
| For yonder he sleeps with breathless breath | L |
| And all his strives | E |
| A credit to worms and maggots | E |
| Who knocks at his casket with tears of joy | M |
| And embrace his motionless skin with love | I |
