Discovery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HFIFJBFB KBLBFMFM NFKDOGFG NPDPFQFQ RGBGCSFSWhen the bugler morn shall wind his horn | A |
And we wake to the wild to be | B |
Shall we open our eyes on the selfsame skies | C |
And stare at the selfsame sea | B |
O new new day though you bring no stay | D |
To the strain of the sameness grim | E |
You are new new new new through and through | F |
And strange as a lawless dream | G |
- | |
Will the driftwood float by the lonely boat | H |
And our prisoner hearts unbar | F |
As it tells of the strand of an unseen land | I |
That lies not far not far | F |
O new new hope O sweep and scope | J |
Of the glad unlying sea | B |
You are new new new with the promise true | F |
Of the dreamland isles to be | B |
- | |
Will the land birds fly across the sky | K |
Though the land is not to see | B |
Have they dipped and passed in the sea line vast | L |
Have we left the land a lee | B |
O new despair I though the hopeless air | F |
Grow foul with the calm and grieves | M |
You are new new new and we cleave to you | F |
As a soul to its freedom cleaves | M |
- | |
Does the falling night hide fiends to fight | N |
And phantoms to affray | F |
What demons lurk in the grisly mirk | K |
As the night watch waits for day | D |
O strange new gloom we await the doom | O |
And what doom none may deem | G |
But it's new new new and we'll sail it through | F |
While the mocking sea gulls scream | G |
- | |
A light a light in the dead of night | N |
That lifts and sinks in the waves | P |
What folk are they who have kindled its ray | D |
Men or the ghouls of graves | P |
O new new fear near near and near | F |
And you bear us weal or woe | Q |
But you're new new new so a cheer for you | F |
And onward friend or foe | Q |
- | |
Shall the lookout call from the foretop tall | R |
Land land with a maddened scream | G |
And the crew in glee from the taffrail see | B |
Where the island palm trees dream | G |
New heart new eyes For the morning skies | C |
Are a chant with their green and gold | S |
New new new new new through and through | F |
New new till the dawn is old | S |
