The Companions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG GIGI AJAJ| How few are they that voyage through the night | A |
| On that eternal quest | B |
| For that strange light beyond our light | A |
| That rest beyond our rest | B |
| - | |
| And they who seeking beauty once descry | C |
| Her face to most unknown | D |
| Thenceforth like changelings from the sky | E |
| Must walk their road alone | D |
| - | |
| So once I dreamed So idle was my mood | F |
| But now before these eyes | G |
| From those foul trenches black with blood | H |
| What radiant legions rise | G |
| - | |
| And loveliness over the wounded earth awakes | G |
| Like wild flowers in the Spring | I |
| Out of the mortal chrysalis breaks | G |
| Immortal wing on wing | I |
| - | |
| They rise like flowers they wander on wings of light | A |
| Through realms beyond our ken | J |
| The loneliest soul is companied tonight | A |
| By hosts of unknown men | J |
