The Company Of Lovers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB FGHGIJKJ

We meet and part now over all the worldA
we the lost companyB
take hands together in the night forgetC
the night in our brief happiness silentlyB
We who sought many things throw all awayD
for this one thing one onlyB
remembering that in the narrow graveE
we shall be lonelyB
-
Death marshalls up his armies round us nowF
Their footsteps crowd too nearG
Lock your warm hand above the chilling heartH
and for a time I live without my fearG
Grope in the night to find me and embraceI
for the dark preludes of the drums beginJ
and round us round the company of loversK
death draws his cordons inJ
