Le Roi Est Mort. Vive Le Roi! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHIJIK| Why wait for Arthur He too long has slept | A |
| He shall not hear you no nor heed your moan | B |
| More than the wail of those fair Queens that kept | A |
| Their watch for him what months in Avalon | C |
| He shall not wake for any mother's son | D |
| Nor mother's daughter of them all in tears | E |
| His knights his ladies How then for this one | D |
| You the last blossom of our world's lost years | F |
| Ah let him sleep For see how in the wood | G |
| Under the dead oak green new saplings spring | H |
| How the thorn blossoms while birds cry aloud | I |
| In scorn of grief And Lady by the rood | J |
| There rides a knight new armed and questing proud | I |
| Who shouts The king is dead Long live the King '' | K |
