Woe! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABAACDAAAAEAFD| It is true our tribe is similar to the bees | A |
| It gathers honey of wisdom carries it stores it in honeycombs | A |
| I am able to roam for hours | A |
| Through the labyrinth of the main library floor to floor | B |
| But yesterday looking for the words of masters and prophets | A |
| I wandered into high regions | A |
| That are visited by practically no one | C |
| I would open a book and could decipher nothing | D |
| For letters faded and disappeared from the pages | A |
| Woe I exclaimed so it comes to this | A |
| Where are you venerable ones with your beards and wigs | A |
| Your nights spent by a candle griefs of your wives | A |
| So a message saving the world is silenced forever | E |
| At your home it was the day of making preserves | A |
| And your dog sleeping by the fire would wake up | F |
| Yawn and look at you as if knowing | D |
