Dead Men's Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEE FGFGHHIJ KFEKFLLMM| There was a damned successful Poet | A |
| There was a Woman like the Sun | B |
| And they were dead They did not know it | C |
| They did not know their time was done | B |
| They did not know his hymns | D |
| Were silence and her limbs | D |
| That had served Love so well | E |
| Dust and a filthy smell | E |
| - | |
| And so one day as ever of old | F |
| Hands out they hurried knee to knee | G |
| On fire to cling and kiss and hold | F |
| And in the other's eyes to see | G |
| Each his own tiny face | H |
| And in that long embrace | H |
| Feel lip and breast grow warm | I |
| To breast and lip and arm | J |
| - | |
| So knee to knee they sped again | K |
| And laugh to laugh they ran I'm told | F |
| Across the streets of Hell | E |
| And then | K |
| They suddenly felt the wind blow cold | F |
| And knew so closely pressed | L |
| Chill air on lip and breast | L |
| And with a sick surprise | M |
| The emptiness of eyes | M |
