The poem has a couplet rhyme, which means that the first two lines, and the last two lines of each stanza rhyme. At the start of the poem there are a number of clear images to show grief. The poem has a tone of unbearable grief throughout. The short orders in the opening stanza create a feeling of urgency in the poet's voice. Images of time from the first stanza are echoed in the third stanza. There are many sound repetitions in the poem.

Well, it depends on what kind of verse you are talking about. One definition of verse is a line of poetry. Using that definition, then no. A stanza is a group of lines, not just one. If you mean a verse of a song, then it could be, but it often is not. A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. Translating a poem into a song sometimes works out so that a stanza is one verse, but sometimes it is two stanzas per verse, or even more.
A ballad stanza consists of four lines per stanza, also known as a quatrain. These stanzas traditionally follow a rhyme scheme of ABCB or ABAB.
The length of a stanza varies by poetic form and author inclination. Although there are many poetic forms that dictate a stanza of a certain length, stanzas in general are not limited by anything except what the author wants to do. Despite the fact that there is no set length for a stanza, there are words for stanzas of certain lengths. For instance, two-line stanzas are couplets, three-line stanzas are called tercets, and four-line stanzas are called quatrains.
This is done by assigning a letter to each line within a stanza (group of lines), where lines having the same letter designation would rhyme within the stanza. Examples could be ABAB or AABB or ABCABC.ABAB would indicate that the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme, as do the 2nd and 4th.AABB would indicate that the 1st and 2nd lines rhyme, and the 3rd and 4th lines rhyme.Various forms of poetry have their own scheme, for example a limerick would have the rhyme scheme AABBA.You name the first rhyming word "a" and then move to later letters. If a word rhymes with a word from an earlier line, we use that earlier line's letter. For example, a rhyme scheme might look like this: aabba.
Conventional blues typically have three lines per stanza. The first two lines often repeat and rhyme, while the third line provides a resolution or twist to the narrative. This structure is commonly known as the AAB form in blues music.
