The Bell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFF GGHHIJKK| It is the bell of death I hear | A |
| Which tells me my own time is near | B |
| When I must join those quiet souls | C |
| Where nothing lives but worms and moles | C |
| And not come through the grass again | D |
| Like worms and moles for breath or rain | E |
| Yet let none weep when my life's through | F |
| For I myself have wept for few | F |
| - | |
| The only things that knew me well | G |
| Were children dogs and girls that fell | G |
| I bought poor children cakes and sweets | H |
| Dogs heard my voice and danced the streets | H |
| And gentle to a fallen lass | I |
| I made her weep for what she was | J |
| Good men and women know not me | K |
| Nor love nor hate the mystery | K |
