To A Dead Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CDCD BBBB BEBEIt is as if a silver chord | A |
Were suddenly grown mute | B |
And life's song with its rhythm warred | B |
Against a silver lute | B |
- | |
It is as if a silence fell | C |
Where bides the garnered sheaf | D |
And voices murmuring It is well | C |
Are stifled by our grief | D |
- | |
It is as if the gloom of night | B |
Had hid a summer's day | B |
And willows sighing at their plight | B |
Bent low beside the way | B |
- | |
For he was part of all the best | B |
That Nature loves and gives | E |
And ever more on Memory's breast | B |
He lies and laughs and lives | E |
