Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB CCCC DEAE| Life burns us up like fire | A |
| And Song goes up in flame | B |
| The radiant body smoulders | C |
| To the ashes whence it came | B |
| - | |
| Out of things it rises | C |
| With a mouth that laughs and sings | C |
| Backward it fades and falters | C |
| Into the char of things | C |
| - | |
| Yet soars a voice above it | D |
| Love is holy and strong | E |
| The best of us forever | A |
| Escapes in Love and Song | E |
