Who Is Now Reading This? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDC EFGHIWho is now reading this | A |
- | |
May be one is now reading this who knows some wrong doing of my past life | B |
Or may be a stranger is reading this who has secretly loved me | C |
Or may be one who meets all my grand assumptions and egotisms with derision | D |
Or may be one who is puzzled at me | C |
- | |
As if I were not puzzled at myself | E |
Or as if I never deride myself O conscience struck O self convicted | F |
Or as if I do not secretly love strangers O tenderly a long time and never avow it | G |
Or as if I did not see perfectly well interior in myself the stuff of wrong doing | H |
Or as if it could cease transpiring from me until it must cease | I |
