To Dr. John Brown: Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDD| BEYOND the north wind lay the land of old | A |
| Where men dwelt blithe and blameless clothed and fed | B |
| With joy s bright raiment and with love s sweet bread | B |
| The whitest flock of earth s maternal fold | A |
| None there might wear about his brows enrolled | A |
| A light of lovelier fame than rings your head | B |
| Whose lovesome love of children and the dead | B |
| All men give thanks for I far off behold | A |
| A dear dead hand that links us and a light | C |
| The blithest and benignest of the night | C |
| The night of death s sweet sleep wherein may be | D |
| A star to show your spirit in present sight | C |
| Some happier island in the Elysian sea | D |
| Where Rab may lick the hand of Marjorie | D |
