Sight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEDF

The world is bright with beauty and its daysA
Are filled with music could we only knowB
True ends from false and lofty things from lowB
Could we but tear away the walls that grazeA
Our very elbows in life's frosty waysA
Behold the width beyond us with its flowB
Its knowledge and its murmur and its glowB
Where doubt itself is but a golden hazeA
-
Ah brothers still upon our pathway liesC
The shadow of dim weariness and fearD
Yet if we could but lift our earthwood eyesC
To see and open our dull eyes to hearE
Then should the wonder of this world draw nearD
And life's innumerable harmoniesF
