Sonnet -- Ye Hasten To The Grave! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACACDDCEDFGD| Ye hasten to the grave What seek ye there | A |
| Ye restless thoughts and busy purposes | B |
| Of the idle brain which the world's livery wear | A |
| O thou quick heart which pantest to possess | C |
| All that pale Expectation feigneth fair | A |
| Thou vainly curious mind which wouldest guess | C |
| Whence thou didst come and whither thou must go | D |
| And all that never yet was known would know | D |
| Oh whither hasten ye that thus ye press | C |
| With such swift feet life's green and pleasant path | E |
| Seeking alike from happiness and woe | D |
| A refuge in the cavern of gray death | F |
| O heart and mind and thoughts what thing do you | G |
| Hope to inherit in the grave below | D |
