Dead In The Sierras Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CDCD EFGF BHIH JKLK BBBB

His footprints have failed usA
Where berries are redB
And madro ntilde os are rankestB
The hunter is deadB
-
The grizzly may passC
By his half open doorD
May pass and repassC
On his path as of yoreD
-
The panther may crouchE
In the leaves on his limbF
May scream and may screamG
It is nothing to himF
-
Prone bearded and breastedB
Like columns of stoneH
And tall as a pineI
As a pine overthrownH
-
His camp fires goneJ
What else can be doneK
Than let him sleep onL
Till the light of the sunK
-
Ay tombless what of itB
Marble is dustB
Cold and repellentB
And iron is rustB
