On Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAADEFFGFHFO life thy name to me's a galling sound | A |
A sound I fain would wish to breathe no more | B |
One only peace for me my hopes have found | A |
When thy existence and wild race is o'er | C |
When Death with one heals every other wound | A |
And lays my aching head in the cold ground | A |
O happy hour I only wish to have | D |
Another moment's gasp and then the grave | E |
I only wish for one departing sigh | F |
A welcome farewel take of all and die | F |
Thou'st given me little world for thanks' return | G |
Thou tempst me little with thee still to 'bide | F |
One only cause in leaving thee I mourn | H |
That I had e'er been born nor in the cradle died | F |
