Into Space Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIHIJKLK MKNKOPFP QRSRTUVUMLPL| If the sad old world should jump a cog | A |
| Sometime in its dizzy spinning | B |
| And go off the track with a sudden jog | C |
| What an end would come to the sinning | B |
| What a rest from strife and the burdens of life | D |
| For the millions of people in it | E |
| What a way out of care and worry and wear | F |
| All in a beautiful minute | G |
| - | |
| As 'round the sun with a curving sweep | H |
| It hurries and runs and races | I |
| Should it lose its balance and go with a leap | H |
| Into the vast sea spaces | I |
| What a blest relief it would bring to the grief | J |
| And the trouble and toil about us | K |
| To be suddenly hurled from the solar world | L |
| And let it go on without us | K |
| - | |
| With not a sigh or a sad good bye | M |
| For loved ones left behind us | K |
| We would go with a lunge and a mighty plunge | N |
| Where never a grave should find us | K |
| What a wild mad thrill our veins would fill | O |
| As the great earth like a feather | P |
| Should float through the air to God knows where | F |
| And carry us all together | P |
| - | |
| No dark damp tomb and no mourner's gloom | Q |
| No tolling bell in the steeple | R |
| But in one swift breath a painless death | S |
| For a million billion people | R |
| What greater bliss could we ask than this | T |
| To sweep with a bird's free motion | U |
| Through leagues of space to a resting place | V |
| In a vast and vapoury ocean | U |
| To pass away from this life for aye | M |
| With never a dear tie sundered | L |
| And a world on fire for a funeral pyre | P |
| While the stars looked on and wondered | L |
