No Coward's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED DDDD| I am afraid to think about my death | A |
| When it shall be and whether in great pain | B |
| I shall rise up and fight the air for breath | A |
| Or calmly wait the bursting of my brain | B |
| - | |
| I am no coward who could seek in fear | C |
| A folklore solace or sweet Indian tales | D |
| I know dead men are deaf and cannot hear | E |
| The singing of a thousand nightingales | D |
| - | |
| I know dead men are blind and cannot see | D |
| The friend that shuts in horror their big eyes | D |
| And they are witless O I'd rather be | D |
| A living mouse than dead as a man dies | D |
