Vixit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Nurse not your grief nor make obsequious moan | A |
| When I have shed this flesh I love so well | B |
| Nor slowly toll the dull heart bruising knell | B |
| Nor carve my name in customary stone | A |
| But let the generous earth reclaim her own | A |
| And my usurious profit who can tell | B |
| Dash tears aside let joy resume her spell | B |
| Stars glitter where the storm is overblown | A |
| Because I have lived I would not have one say | C |
| Here long ago a man of such a name | D |
| Was left to moulder in his pit of clay | C |
| Let only love remember how I came | D |
| And built an earthen altar in my day | C |
| And lit thereon a comfortable flame | D |
