The Voice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCAADEEDDBBCFGFBH HHBBB| From our low seat beside the fire | A |
| Where we have dozed and dreamed and watched the glow | B |
| Or raked the ashes stooping so | B |
| We scarcely saw the sun and rain | C |
| Through the small curtained window pane | C |
| Or looked much higher | A |
| Than this same quiet red or burned out fire | A |
| Tonight we heard a call | D |
| A voice on the sharp air | E |
| And felt a breath stirring our hair | E |
| A flame within us Something swift and tall | D |
| Swept in and out and that was all | D |
| Was it a bright or a dark angel Who can know | B |
| It made no mark upon the snow | B |
| But suddenly in passing snapped the chain | C |
| Unbarred flung wide the door | F |
| Which will not shut again | G |
| And so we cannot sit here any more | F |
| We must arise and go | B |
| The world is cold without | H |
| And dark and hedged about | H |
| With mystery and enmity and doubt | H |
| But we must go | B |
| Though yet we do not know | B |
| Who called or what marks we shall leave upon the snow | B |
