Why Is This Age Worse...? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH| Why is this age worse than earlier ages | A |
| In a stupor of grief and dread | B |
| have we not fingered the foulest wounds | C |
| and left them unhealed by our hands | D |
| - | |
| In the west the falling light still glows | E |
| and the clustered housetops glitter in the sun | F |
| but here Death is already chalking the doors with crosses | G |
| and calling the ravens and the ravens are flying in | H |
