The Mockery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFDD GHIHDD| Sometimes I laugh what else can a man do | A |
| Who does not know This little ego here | B |
| Braving the void this fleck upon the blue | A |
| This filmy wing sounding the starry sphere | C |
| What bold abysmal incongruity | D |
| What joke of the gods to make a mock of me | D |
| - | |
| I hear you sing and wonder how you dare | E |
| Too fine for song they are the tint of the rose | F |
| The touch of a child love's beauty and despair | E |
| All the sad furtive exquisiteness that blows | F |
| Like scent of gardens I may never see | D |
| Across my sense to make a mock of me | D |
| - | |
| That I this atom infinitesimal | G |
| This chance blown seed of flesh and fire that I | H |
| Should front the dread immensity the all | I |
| Shocking the silence with my futile cry | H |
| What dark inscrutable absurdity | D |
| What joke of the gods to make a mock of me | D |
