The Companions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG GIGI AJAJHow 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 |
