Life Beyond, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDDBEFGE GH| He wakes who never thought to wake again | A |
| Who held the end was Death He opens eyes | B |
| Slowly to one long livid oozing plain | C |
| Closed down by the strange eyeless heavens He lies | B |
| And waits and once in timeless sick surmise | B |
| Through the dead air heaves up an unknown hand | D |
| Like a dry branch No life is in that land | D |
| Himself not lives but is a thing that cries | B |
| An unmeaning point upon the mud a speck | E |
| Of moveless horror an Immortal One | F |
| Cleansed of the world sentient and dead a fly | G |
| Fast stuck in grey sweat on a corpse's neck | E |
| - | |
| I thought when love for you died I should die | G |
| It's dead Alone most strangely I live on | H |
