The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGH| I see them crowd on crowd they walk the earth | A |
| Dry leafless trees no Autumn wind laid bare | B |
| And in their nakedness find cause for mirth | A |
| And all unclad would winter's rudeness dare | B |
| No sap doth through their clattering branches flow | C |
| Whence springing leaves and blossoms bright appear | D |
| Their hearts the living God have ceased to know | C |
| Who gives the spring time to th'expectant year | D |
| They mimic life as if from him to steal | E |
| His glow of health to paint the livid cheek | F |
| They borrow words for thoughts they cannot feel | E |
| That with a seeming heart their tongue may speak | F |
| And in their show of life more dead they live | G |
| Than those that to the earth with many tears they give | H |
