I have to read this poem and give a 25-30 word summary for it and i have to say whether it is free verse, quatrains, or couplets, and i have to pick literary devices out of it... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

We Wear the Mask
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,-
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be overwise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, Ogreat Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!
