Before Execution. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMBGNO| The sun is set and all the stars are come | A |
| Stars I shall no more see the air is still | B |
| And my life waits the ruin so near now | C |
| A little space and I shall have done here | D |
| Ah God twelve hours twelve little hours and lo | E |
| The air and these lips part day becomes night | F |
| Earth nothing time a skeleton and I | G |
| An angry ghost or a tired phantom laid | H |
| With many others in oblivion | I |
| Twelve hours twelve little hours and I shall have | J |
| A wondrous change feel one fierce pang and then | K |
| Fade off I know not where or like a star | L |
| Shot fearfully from the zenith singe my way | M |
| Through chaos haply for some aeons till | B |
| I reach another air a lower sky | G |
| And maybe with a baleful influence | N |
| Burn in Pluto's reign | O |
