When I Am Asleep And Crumbling In The Tomb Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHIJWhen I am asleep and crumbling in the tomb should you come | A |
to visit me I will come forth with speed | B |
You are for me the blast of the trumpet and the resurrection | C |
so what shall I do Dead or living wherever you are there am I | D |
Without your lip I am a frozen and silent reed what melodies | E |
I play the moment you breathe on my reed | B |
Your wretched reed has become accustomed to your sugar lip | F |
remember wretched me for I am seeking you | G |
When I do not find the moon of your countenance I bind up | H |
my head veil myself in your mourning when I do not find your | I |
sweet lip gnaw my own hand | J |
