Wherefore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGGH IJJI| I would not see yet must behold | A |
| The truth they preach in church and hall | B |
| And question so Is death then all | B |
| And life an idle tale that's told | A |
| - | |
| The myriad wonders art hath wrought | C |
| I deemed eternal as God's love | D |
| No more than shadows these shall prove | E |
| And insubstantial as a thought | C |
| - | |
| And love and labor who have gone | F |
| Hand in close hand and civilized | G |
| The wilderness these shall be prized | G |
| No more than if they had not done | H |
| - | |
| Then wherefore strive Why strain and bend | I |
| Beneath a burden so unjust | J |
| Our works are builded out of dust | J |
| And dust their universal end | I |
