The Ways Of Death Are Soothing And Serene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC ABAB ABBAA

The ways of Death are soothing and sereneA
And all the words of Death are grave and sweetB
From camp and church the fireside and the streetB
She beckons forth and strife and song have beenC
-
A summer night descending cool and greenA
And dark on daytime s dust and stress and heatB
The ways of death are soothing and sereneA
And all the words of Death are grave and sweetB
-
O glad and sorrowful with triumphant mienA
And radiant faces look upon and greetB
This last of all your lovers and to meetB
The kiss the Comforter s your spirit leanA
The ways of Death are soothing and sereneA
