Sonnet. Why Did I Laugh Tonight? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHHWhy did I laugh to night No voice will tell | A |
No God no Demon of severe response | B |
Deigns to reply from Heaven or from Hell | A |
Then to my human heart I turn at once | C |
Heart Thou and I are here sad and alone | D |
I say why did I laugh O mortal pain | E |
O Darkness Darkness ever must I moan | D |
To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain | E |
Why did I laugh I know this Being's lease | F |
My fancy to its utmost blisses spreads | G |
Yet would I on this very midnight cease | F |
And all the world's gaudy ensigns see in shreds | G |
Verse Fame and Beauty are intense indeed | H |
But Death intenser Death is Life's high meed | H |
