Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFH DIDI| Songs that could span the earth | A |
| When leaping thought had stirred them | B |
| In many an hour since birth | A |
| We heard or dreamed we heard them | B |
| - | |
| Sometimes to all their sway | C |
| We yield ourselves half fearing | D |
| Sometimes with hearts grown grey | C |
| We curse ourselves for hearing | D |
| - | |
| We toil and but begin | E |
| In vain our spirits fret them | B |
| We strive and cannot win | E |
| Nor evermore forget them | B |
| - | |
| A light that will not stand | F |
| That comes and goes in flashes | G |
| Fair fruits that in the hand | F |
| Are turned to dust and ashes | H |
| - | |
| Yet still the deep thoughts ring | D |
| Around and through and through us | I |
| Sweet mights that make us sing | D |
| But bring no resting to us | I |
