Laughter And Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDCEFGFHC| THERE is no laughter in the natural world | A |
| Of beast or fish or bird though no sad doubt | B |
| Of their futurity to them unfurled | A |
| Has dared to check the mirth compelling shout | B |
| The lion roars his solemn thunder out | B |
| To the sleeping woods The eagle screams her cry | C |
| Even the lark must strain a serious throat | D |
| To hurl his blest defiance at the sky | C |
| Fear anger jealousy have found a voice | E |
| Love s pain or rapture the brute bosoms swell | F |
| Nature has symbols for her nobler joys | G |
| Her nobler sorrows Who had dared foretell | F |
| That only man by some sad mockery | H |
| Should learn to laugh who learns that he must die | C |
