Hate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJLMBMB| I had a bitter enemy | A |
| His heart to hate he gave | B |
| And when I died he swore that he | A |
| Would dance upon my grave | B |
| That he would leap and laugh because | C |
| A livid corpse was I | D |
| And that's the reason why I was | E |
| In no great haste to die | D |
| - | |
| And then such is the quirk of fate | F |
| One day with joy I read | G |
| Despite his vitalizing hate | F |
| My enemy was dead | G |
| Maybe the poison in his heart | H |
| Had helped to haste his doom | I |
| He was not spared till I depart | H |
| To spit upon my tomb | I |
| - | |
| The other day I chanced to go | J |
| To where he lies alone | K |
| 'Tis easy to forgive a foe | J |
| When he is dead and gone | L |
| Poor devil Now his day is done | M |
| Though bright it was and brave | B |
| Yet I am happy there is none | M |
| To dance upon my grave | B |
