His Soul Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEED FGGF HIIH JJ

ONCE from the world of living menA
I passed by a strange fancy ledB
To a still City of the DeadB
To call upon a citizenC
He had been famous in his dayD
Much talked of written of and praisedE
For virtues my small soul amazedE
And yet I thought his heart was clayD
-
He was too full of grace for meF
His friends said on a marble stoneG
His soul sat somewhere near the ThroneG
I did not know I called to seeF
-
His name and fame were on the doorH
A most superior tomb indeedI
Much railed and gilt and filigreedI
He occupied the lower floorH
-
I knocked a worm crawled from its holeJ
I looked and knew it for his soulJ
