Nothing Will Die by Alfred Lord Tennyson
‘Nothing Will Die’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a three-stanza poem which is separated into one set of ten lines, one set of sixteen, and a final set of nine. Each stanza follows its own pattern of rhyme.
The first contains rhyming sets of tercets and couplets, conforming to the pattern of, aaabbccddb. A reader should take note of the last, very short, five lines of this section as they come in the form of a list. The speaker is noting all of the reasons why the world will go on forever.
The second stanza is formatted differently, it follows a slightly less structured pattern of, abaccdeebdfghhfg. The lines do not match up in one precise order, but by the end of the stanza, each line has found its matching rhyme.
In the third stanza, the rhyme scheme is altered once more. It follows a pattern of aabcddceb. The only outstanding line in this section is the one that ends with the word, “die.” This has been done purposely in an effort to alienate the concept of death. It also connects the final lines to lines four and five of the first stanza which also end in the word “die.”
