The Resurrection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHIJ| LONG long before men die I sometimes read | A |
| Their stoic backs as plain as graveyard stones | B |
| An epitaph of poor dead men indeed | C |
| I never pass those old and crooked bones | B |
| Ridden far down with burden and with age | D |
| Stopping the headlong highway till they lean | E |
| Aside in honor of my equipage | D |
| But I am sick and shamed that Heaven has been | F |
| So clumsy with the inelastic clay | G |
| 'What pretty piece of hope then have you spun | H |
| My old defeated traveler ' I say | G |
| 'That keeps you marching on For I have none | H |
| I have looked often and I have not found | I |
| Old men bowed low who ever rose up sound ' | J |
