It Is Life To Die Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IJIJ KLML| It is life to die the muse has sung | A |
| The prophet words have rung from pole to pole | B |
| The trust the hope to which many have clung | A |
| An echo woke in many a weary soul | B |
| - | |
| Ah welcome thrice if but that death would come | C |
| As sweeps the avalanche from Alpine hight | D |
| As falls the flashing storm sent lightning bolt | E |
| Resistless in its terror and its might | D |
| - | |
| But oh to die by slowest slow decay | F |
| To clothe a dying heart in life's warm breath | G |
| When every day repeats a long eternity | H |
| And every hour is but another death | G |
| - | |
| O God why were we born to live a life | I |
| From very thought of which our souls must shrink | J |
| To sink down in the waves of human strife | I |
| And ever only wait and wait and think | J |
| - | |
| No wonder that so many hapless ones | K |
| Too sensitive the specter to defy | L |
| Arm Hamlet like against a sea of woes | M |
| And test the truth that it is life to die | L |
