Strange Voices Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEFC| Strange voices sing among the planets which | A |
| Move on for ever in the old sea's foam | B |
| There is a prophecy in Heaven's blue dome | B |
| Great beacon fires are lighted black as pitch | A |
| Is night and yet star jewels make it rich | A |
| And if the moon lights up her cloudy home | B |
| The darkness flees and forth strange gleamings roam | B |
| Lighting up hill and vale and mound and ditch | A |
| Earth is full of all questions that all ask | C |
| And she alone of heavy silence full | D |
| Answereth not what is it severeth | E |
| Us from the spirits that we would be with | E |
| Or is it that our fleshly ear is dull | F |
| And our own shadow hides light with a mask | C |
