What is the rhyme scheme and form of Emily Dickinson's "I reason, earth is short"?
I reason, earth is short,
And anguish absolute,
And many hurt;
But what of that?
I reason, we could die:
The best vitality
Cannot excel decay;
But what of that?
I reason that in heaven
Somehow, it will be even,
Some new equation given;
But what of that?
I can't figure out what form it is in, and I have no idea how to tell a rhyme scheme. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated! Thanks!
