Rose Leaves Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEEE FGFGHHWhen they shall close my careless eyes | A |
And look their last upon my face | B |
I fear that some will say her lies | A |
A man of deep disgrace | B |
His thoughts were bare his words were brittle | C |
He dreamed so much he did so little | C |
- | |
When they shall seal y coffin lid | D |
And this worn mask I know as ME | E |
Shall from the sight of man be hid | D |
To all eternity | E |
Some one may say His sins were many | E |
His virtues really had he any | E |
- | |
When I shall lie beneath my tomb | F |
Oh do not grave it with my name | G |
But let one rose bush o'er me bloom | F |
And heedless of my shame | G |
With velvet shade and loving laugh | H |
In petals write my epitaph | H |
