For example, in the lines: > Say what good really is a life, > When so thoroughly deprived of joy > Is my restless mind, > Hurting constantly, in a dreadful strife? > When it needs so many lies, > With which I should deceive myself, > So, for another day, I could survive? The "sentences" end after 'strife' and 'survive,' but a case can be made for question marks after 'mind' and 'myself.' So should question marks in lines of poetry be put like in lines of prose, i.e. at the end of a thought or "sentence?"
