Song #4. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFBFBGBHB| They have been here and had this light | A |
| Who in their graves are lying | B |
| And e'en the youngest life to night | A |
| Is gradually dying | B |
| Our birth's a kind of death we have | C |
| When we upon time waken | D |
| A step still nearer to the grave | E |
| With every breath is taken | D |
| We are doomed being born as 'twere | F |
| Decay within us breeding | B |
| Or e'en as time did groan and bear | F |
| But death's immortal seeding | B |
| For we are made of stuff that goes | G |
| So easy to decaying | B |
| 'Tis at the best the spirit's clothes | H |
| In which it goes a Maying | B |
