The Elevation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BABB ACDA ABBA ACDA| Above the valleys over rills and meres | A |
| Above the mountains woods the oceans clouds | A |
| Beyond the sun past all ethereal bounds | A |
| Beyond the borders of the starry spheres | A |
| - | |
| My agile spirit how you take your flight | B |
| Like a strong swimmer swooning on the sea | A |
| You gaily plough the vast immensity | B |
| With manly inexpressible delight | B |
| - | |
| F y far above this morbid vaporous place | A |
| Go cleanse yourself in higher finer air | C |
| And drink up like a pure divine liqueur | D |
| Bright fire out of clear and limpid space | A |
| - | |
| Beyond ennui past troubles and ordeals | A |
| That load our dim existence with their weight | B |
| Happy the strong winged man who makes the great | B |
| Leap upward to the bright and peaceful fields | A |
| - | |
| The man whose thoughts like larks take to their wings | A |
| Each morning freely speeding through the air | C |
| Who soars above this life interpreter | D |
| Of flowers' speech the voice of silent things | A |
