To A Dead Journalist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDBDEFEFGH| The busy trade of life is over now | A |
| The intricate toil which was so hard for bread | B |
| The strife each day renewed 'neath this poor brow | A |
| By this frail hand to be interpreted | C |
| The zeal the forethought the heart's wounds that bled | B |
| The anger roused the stark blow answering blow | D |
| All that was centred in that aching head | B |
| Of black necessity for weal or woe | D |
| Its use its purpose what Nay less than none | E |
| More blindly naught than even the dull clay | F |
| Left on this bed its corporal union done | E |
| Which we must shovel to its grave to day | F |
| O soul of Man thou pilgrim of distress | G |
| Lost in Time's void Thou wind of nothingness | H |
