Why Did I Laugh Tonight? No Voice Will Tell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| Why did I laugh tonight 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 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 |
