Death And Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGHGIGIG JKJKLGLG| 'Twas in the grave yard's gruesome gloom | A |
| That May and I were mated | B |
| We sneaked inside and on a tomb | A |
| Our love was consummated | C |
| It's quite all right no doubt we'll wed | D |
| Our sin will go unchidden | E |
| Ah sweeter than the nuptial bed | D |
| Are ecstasies forbidden | E |
| - | |
| And as I held my sweetheart close | F |
| And she was softly sighing | G |
| I could not help but think of those | H |
| In peace below us lying | G |
| Poor folks No disrespect we meant | I |
| And beg you'll be forgiving | G |
| We hopes the dead will not resent | I |
| The rapture of the living | G |
| - | |
| And when in death I too shall lie | J |
| And lost to those who love me | K |
| I wish two sweethearts roving by | J |
| Will plight their troth above me | K |
| Oh do not think that I will grieve | L |
| To hear the vows they're voicing | G |
| And if their love new life conceive | L |
| 'Tis I will be rejoicing | G |
