The Dead Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDE| The dead abide with us Though stark and cold | A |
| Earth seems to grip them they are with us still | B |
| They have forged our chains of being for good or ill | B |
| And their invisible hands these hands yet hold | A |
| Our perishable bodies are the mould | A |
| In which their strong imperishable will | B |
| Mortality's deep yearning to fulfil | B |
| Hath grown incorporate through dim time untold | A |
| - | |
| Vibrations infinite of life in death | C |
| As a star's travelling light survives its star | D |
| So may we hold our lives that when we are | D |
| The fate of those who then will draw this breath | C |
| They shall not drag us to their judgment bar | D |
| And curse the heritage which we bequeath | E |
