"Death be not proud"

In Death be not proud by John Donne the poems rhyme scheme is ABBA ABBA CDD CAA the last six line was hard to figure out but I eventually got it. It is a 14 line poem. The poem is mocking death and because of the rhyme scheme we are capable to see that in the end it does not have the same rhyme to show that death does not win because the soul lives on. Since it rhymes in the beginning we see that humans are scared of death and fear it. The rhyme scheme is the most important because we how the poem begins and how it ends.
