Come Out, Come Out Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMDNOAPQ| Come out come out ye souls that serve why will ye die | A |
| or will ye sit and stifle in your prison homes | B |
| dreaming of some master that holds the winds in leash | C |
| and the waves of darkness yonder in the gaunt hollow of night | D |
| nay there is none that rules all is a strife of the winds | E |
| and the night shall billow in storm full oft ere all be done | F |
| For this is the hard doom that is laid on all of you | G |
| to be that whereof ye dream dreaming against your will | H |
| But first ye must travel the many ways and your close wrapt souls | I |
| must be blown thro' with the rain that comes from the homeless dark | J |
| for until ye have had care of the wastes there shall be no truce | K |
| for them nor you nor home but ever the ancient feud | L |
| and the soul of man must house the cry of the darkling waves | M |
| as he follows the ridge above the waters shuddering to wards night | D |
| and the rains and the winds that roam anhunger'd for some heart's warmth | N |
| Go tho' ye find it bitter yet must ye be bare | O |
| to the wind and the sea and the night and the wail of birds in the sky | A |
| go tho' the going be hard and the goal blinded with rain | P |
| yet the staying is a death that is never soften'd with sleep | Q |
