Another Epitaph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHHIIJJBCThis little vault this narrow room | A |
Of Love and Beauty is the tomb | A |
The dawning beam that 'gan to clear | B |
Our clouded sky lies darken'd here | C |
For ever set to us by Death | D |
Sent to enflame the World Beneath | E |
'Twas but a bud yet did contain | F |
More sweetness than shall spring again | G |
A budding Star that might have grown | H |
Into a Sun when it had blown | H |
This hopeful Beauty did create | I |
New life in Love's declining state | I |
But now his empire ends and we | J |
From fire and wounding darts are free | J |
His brand his bow let no man fear | B |
The flames the arrows all lie here | C |
