The Dead (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EEFDGD| These hearts were woven of human joys and cares | A |
| Washed marvellously with sorrow swift to mirth | B |
| The years had given them kindness Dawn was theirs | A |
| And sunset and the colours of the earth | B |
| These had seen movement and heard music known | C |
| Slumber and waking loved gone proudly friended | D |
| Felt the quick stir of wonder sat alone | C |
| Touched flowers and furs and cheeks All this is ended | D |
| - | |
| There are waters blown by changing winds to laughter | E |
| And lit by the rich skies all day And after | E |
| Frost with a gesture stays the waves that dance | F |
| And wandering loveliness He leaves a white | D |
| Unbroken glory a gathered radiance | G |
| A width a shining peace under the night | D |
