Last Answers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FGAHIJKA| I wrote a poem on the mist | A |
| And a woman asked me what I meant by it | B |
| I had thought till then only of the beauty of the mist | A |
| how pearl and gray of it mix and reel | C |
| And change the drab shanties with lighted lamps at evening | D |
| into points of mystery quivering with color | E |
| - | |
| I answered | F |
| The whole world was mist once long ago and some day | G |
| it will all go back to mist | A |
| Our skulls and lungs are more water than bone and | H |
| tissue | I |
| And all poets love dust and mist because all the last | J |
| answers | K |
| Go running back to dust and mist | A |
