The poem is free verse. It does not follow a consistent meter or rhyme scheme. However, there are examples of rhyme in each stanza, such as “stone” and “alone” in stanza one, “use” and “blues” in stanza three, and “know” and “blow” in stanza five. In addition, the refrain follows an A-B-A meter. Every other stanza is repeated.
