The House Of Life: 73. The Choice, Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDEFE| Think thou and act to morrow thou shalt die | A |
| Outstretch'd in the sun's warmth upon the shore | B |
| Thou say'st Man's measur'd path is all gone o'er | C |
| Up all his years steeply with strain and sigh | A |
| Man clomb until he touch'd the truth and I | A |
| Even I am he whom it was destin'd for | B |
| How should this be Art thou then so much more | B |
| Than they who sow'd that thou shouldst reap thereby | A |
| Nay come up hither From this wave wash'd mound | D |
| Unto the furthest flood brim look with me | E |
| Then reach on with thy thought till it be drown'd | D |
| Miles and miles distant though the last line be | E |
| And though thy soul sail leagues and leagues beyond | F |
| Still leagues beyond those leagues there is more sea | E |
