We Are To Play The Game Of Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDBEFGFHIDJA| WE are to play the game of death to night my bride and I | A |
| The night is black the clouds in the sky are capricious and the waves are raving at sea | B |
| We have left our bed of dreams flung open the door and come out my bride and I | A |
| We sit upon a swing and the storm winds give us a wild push from behind | C |
| My bride starts up with fear and delight she trembles and clings to my breast | D |
| Long have I served her tenderly | B |
| I made for her a bed of flowers and I closed the doors to shut out the rude light from her eyes | E |
| I kissed her gently on her lips and whispered softly in her ears till she half swooned in languor | F |
| She was lost in the endless mist of vague sweetness | G |
| She answered not to my touch my songs failed to arouse her | F |
| To night has come to us the call of the storm from the wild | H |
| My bride has shivered and stood up she has clasped my hand and come out | I |
| Her hair is flying in the wind her veil is fluttering her garland rustles over her breast | D |
| The push of death has swung her into life | J |
| We are face to face and heart to heart my bride and I | A |
