Death's Eloquence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDAEFFGEHIGHJIJ| When I shall go | A |
| Into the narrow home that leaves | B |
| No room for wringing of the hands and hair | C |
| And feel the pressing of the walls which bear | C |
| The heavy sod upon my heart that grieves | B |
| As the weird earth rolls on | D |
| Then I shall know | A |
| What is the power of destiny But still | E |
| Still while my life however sad be mine | F |
| I war with memory striving to divine | F |
| Phantom to morrows to outrun the past | G |
| For yet the tears of final absolute ill | E |
| And ruinous knowledge of my fate I shun | H |
| Even as the frail instinctive weed | I |
| Tries through unending shade to reach at last | G |
| A shining mellowing rapture giving sun | H |
| So in the deed of breathing joy's warm breath | J |
| Fain to succeed | I |
| I too in colorless longings hope till death | J |
