Murder Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEDEFDFD| Upon the threshold red eyed Murder stands | A |
| Fresh from his slaughter house of human meat | B |
| Blood on his broken teeth and on his hands | A |
| Blood on his nails and on his purple feet | B |
| With hollow voice he speaks and sick'ning breath | C |
| 'A way there is that only way is death | C |
| The dead will rise no more the dead are dead | D |
| The spared will creep behind the sparer's back | E |
| And breathe their plots and stab The dead are dead | D |
| And lie along the safe triumphal track | E |
| The young eyed babe will lisp it's little tales | F |
| The loving girl will slay her main in bed | D |
| Kissing his savage mouth the victor fails | F |
| At Mercy's seat The dead are safely dead' | D |
