Birth And Death. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBCBC| I who have known thee Birth must know Death too | A |
| As old old men their children's children fold | B |
| In their gaunt arms and though their blood be cold | B |
| Feel their own youth burn in them as they view | A |
| The features that were theirs each sign so true | A |
| To their own breath and blood 'tis as retold | B |
| Their very youth was when they are so old | B |
| By those who nothing of their childhood knew | A |
| So even Death but a new birth may be | C |
| And in some other star beyond to day | B |
| When we have put the use of Earth away | B |
| E'en like those old men's children's children we | C |
| May see ourselves rise from our own decay | B |
| The very offspring of our verity | C |
