The Two Highwaymen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGAGHIJAJ| I long have had a quarrel set with Time | A |
| Because he robb'd me Every day of life | B |
| Was wrested from me after bitter strife | B |
| I never yet could see the sun go down | C |
| But I was angry in my heart nor hear | D |
| The leaves fall in the wind without a tear | E |
| Over the dying summer I have known | F |
| No truce with Time nor Time's accomplice Death | G |
| The fair world is the witness of a crime | A |
| Repeated every hour For life and breath | G |
| Are sweet to all who live and bitterly | H |
| The voices of these robbers of the heath | I |
| Sound in each ear and chill the passer by | J |
| What have we done to thee thou monstrous Time | A |
| What have we done to Death that we must die | J |
