What Is Our Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAAEE| What is our life The play of passion | A |
| Our mirth The music of division | A |
| Our mothers' wombs the tiring houses be | B |
| Where we are dressed for life's short comedy | B |
| The earth the stage Heaven the spectator is | C |
| Who sits and views whosoe'er doth act amiss | D |
| The graves which hide us from the scorching sun | A |
| Are like drawn curtains when the play is done | A |
| Thus playing post we to our latest rest | E |
| And then we die in earnest not in jest | E |
