A Dead Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEF GHIHJKLK| IT hardly seems that he is dead | A |
| So strange it is that we are here | B |
| Beneath this great blue shell of sky | C |
| With apple bloom and pear | D |
| It scarce seems true that we can note | E |
| The bursting rosebud s edge of flame | F |
| Or watch the blackbird s swelling throat | E |
| While he is but a name | F |
| - | |
| No more the chaffinch at his step | G |
| Pipes suddenly her shrill surprise | H |
| For in an ecstasy of sleep | I |
| Unconsciously he lies | H |
| Not knowing that the sweet brown lark | J |
| From off her bosom s feathery lace | K |
| Shakes down the dewdrop in her flight | L |
| To fall upon his face | K |
