Questionings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EDEDED| Now when wan winter sunsets be | A |
| Canary colored down the sky | B |
| When nights are starless utterly | A |
| And sleeted winds cut moaning by | B |
| One's memory keeps one company | A |
| And conscience puts his when and why | B |
| - | |
| Such inquisition when alone | C |
| Wakes superstition in the head | D |
| A Gorgon face of hueless stone | C |
| With staring eyes to terror wed | D |
| Stamped on her brow God's words Unknown | C |
| Behind the dead behind the dead | D |
| - | |
| And oh that weariness of soul | E |
| That leans upon our dead the clod | D |
| And air have taken as a whole | E |
| Through some mysterious period | D |
| Life with thy questions of control | E |
| Death with thy unguessed laws of God | D |
