On Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACAADEFFGFHF

O life thy name to me's a galling soundA
A sound I fain would wish to breathe no moreB
One only peace for me my hopes have foundA
When thy existence and wild race is o'erC
When Death with one heals every other woundA
And lays my aching head in the cold groundA
O happy hour I only wish to haveD
Another moment's gasp and then the graveE
I only wish for one departing sighF
A welcome farewel take of all and dieF
Thou'st given me little world for thanks' returnG
Thou tempst me little with thee still to 'bideF
One only cause in leaving thee I mournH
That I had e'er been born nor in the cradle diedF

John Clare
