Books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGEHEIAIA| Oh Bury me in books when I am dead | A |
| Fair quarto leaves of ivory and gold | B |
| And silk octavos bound in brown and red | A |
| That tales of love and chivalry unfold | B |
| Heap me in volumes of fine vellum wrought | C |
| Creamed with the close content of silent speech | D |
| Wrap me in sapphire tapestries of thought | C |
| From some old epic out of common reach | D |
| I would my shroud were verse embroidered too | E |
| Your verse for preference in starry stitch | F |
| And powdered o er with rhymes that poets woo | E |
| Breathing dream lyrics in moon measures rich | F |
| Night holds me with a horror of the grave | G |
| That knows not poetry nor song nor you | E |
| Nor leaves of love that down the ages weave | H |
| Romance and fire in burnished cloths of blue | E |
| Oh bury me in books and I ll not mind | I |
| The cold slow worms that coil around my head | A |
| Since my lone soul may turn the page and find | I |
| The lines you wrote to me when I am dead | A |
