Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDDBEYOND 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 |
