Why? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCCDDEEFFEE| Why did I go where roses grew | A |
| And meadow larks which skyward flew | A |
| From grasses sparkling in the dew | A |
| The yellow sunshine pouring through | A |
| What was there for me to find | B |
| Were they to learn my froward mind | B |
| From far across vast summer seas | C |
| Rifling green marshes bending trees | C |
| Driving cloud shadows down the air | D |
| Keen breezes smote me here and there | D |
| Keen breezes crying Why why why | E |
| And nothing had I to reply | E |
| Beings with neither soul nor sense | F |
| Convicting me with their pretence | F |
| Beings of change but what am I | E |
| Once more repeating Why why why | E |
