The Old Man's Funeral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACC DEDEFF| Ye sigh not when the sun his course fulfilled | A |
| His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky | B |
| In the soft evening when the winds are stilled | A |
| Sinks where his islands of departure spread | C |
| O'er the warm colored heaven and ruddy mountain head | C |
| - | |
| Why weep ye then for him who having won | D |
| The bound of man's appointed years at last | E |
| Life's blessings all enjoyed life's labors done | D |
| Serenely to his final rest has passed | E |
| While the soft memory of his virtues yet | F |
| Lingers like twilight hues when the bright sun is set | F |
