Death At The Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHHH HIHI| This morning while we sat in talk | A |
| Of spring and apple bloom | B |
| Lo Death stood in the garden walk | A |
| And peered into the room | B |
| - | |
| Your back was turned you did not see | C |
| The shadow that he made | D |
| He bent his head and looked at me | C |
| It made my soul afraid | D |
| - | |
| The words I had begun to speak | E |
| Fell broken in the air | F |
| You saw the pallor of my cheek | E |
| And turned but none was there | F |
| - | |
| He came as sudden as a thought | G |
| And so departed too | H |
| What made him leave his task unwrought | H |
| It was the sight of you | H |
| - | |
| Though Death but seldom turns aside | H |
| From those he means to take | I |
| He would not yet our hearts divide | H |
| For love and pity's sake | I |
