A Request Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDDEE FFGBBGHHHII| When I am dead | A |
| I would that ye make my bed | A |
| On that low lying windy waste by the sea | B |
| Where the silvery grasses rustle and lisp | C |
| There where the crisp | C |
| Foam flakes shall fly over me | B |
| And murmurs creep | D |
| From the ancient heart of the deep | D |
| Lulling me ever I shall most sweetly sleep | D |
| While the eerie sea folk croon | E |
| On the long dim shore by the light of a waning moon | E |
| - | |
| I shall not hear | F |
| Clamor of young life anear | F |
| Voices of gladness to stir an unrest | G |
| Only the wandering mists of the sea | B |
| Shall companion me | B |
| Only the wind in its quest | G |
| Shall come where I lie | H |
| Or the rain from the brooding sky | H |
| With furtive footstep shall pass me by | H |
| And never a dream of the earth | I |
| Shall break on my slumber with lure of an out lived mirth | I |
