Mourning Women Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDDDD| All veiled in black with faces hid from sight | A |
| Crouching together in the jolting cart | B |
| What forms are these that pass alone apart | B |
| In abject apathy to life's delight | A |
| The motley crowd fantastically bright | A |
| Shifts gorgeous through each dazzling street and mart | B |
| Only these sisters of the suffering heart | B |
| Strike discords in this symphony of light | A |
| - | |
| Most wretched women whom your prophet dooms | C |
| To take love's penalties without its prize | D |
| Yes you shall bear the unborn in your wombs | D |
| And water dusty death with streaming eyes | D |
| And wailing beat your breasts among the tombs | D |
| But souls ye have none fit for Paradise | D |
