The Dread Beyond Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIAIJ| WHY do you shudder and stare | A |
| Grown cold in a moment and white | B |
| The moon's at her full and the air | A |
| Is flooded with wonderful light | B |
| There is never a sound or a sign | C |
| Or a shadow of harm in the trees | D |
| And the little leaves ripple and shine | C |
| At the kiss and caress of the breeze | D |
| You tremble and shudder my love | E |
| As a hare at a hound's flashing fangs | F |
| As a bird when in azure above | E |
| A poising hawk motionless hangs | F |
| Fear not and the terror shall yield | G |
| To peace and to sweetness at length | H |
| My love is a guard and a shield | G |
| My arms are a fortress and strength | H |
| 'I fear not the hawk in the sky | I |
| Or the hound though his fangs flash anear | A |
| A dread beyond death makes me sigh | I |
| 'Tis the end of our love that I fear ' | J |
