Are the verbs indicative, subjunctive, or interrogative?
Here is the poem:

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

I would say her verbs are indicative and subjunctive.

In the first instance, she writes: My life closed twice before its close;

Then she moves into the subjunctive voice when she continues:

It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.

Then she closes with the statement:

Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.


Here are the definitions:

1. The indicative mood is used for factual statements and positive beliefs.

2. The subjunctive mood has several uses in dependent clauses such as discussing hypothetical or unlikely events, expressing opinions or emotions, or making polite requests (the exact scope is language-specific).

3. The interrogative mood is used for asking questions.

it could rely on who you're sending it to. If somebody sent it to me i could discover it comforting. Use stable judgment in the previous sending it to somebody who's experiencing the dying of a kinfolk member.
