Beyond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACD AEFEF AGAGHIHI JGJGKLKM LNONOBAB ADNDD| Beyond yon dim old mountain's shadowy height | A |
| The restless sun droops low his grand old face | B |
| While downward sweeps the trembling veil of night | A |
| To hide the earth the frost king's filmy lace | B |
| Rests on the mountain's hoary snow crowned head | C |
| And adds to it a softened grace the light | A |
| Which dies afar in faint and fading red | C |
| In purple shadows circles near | D |
| - | |
| The flight | A |
| Of birds across the vast and silent plains | E |
| Awakes the echoes of the sleeping earth | F |
| Of all the summer beauty naught remains | E |
| There come no tidings of the spring's glad birth | F |
| - | |
| Beyond the valley and far off height | A |
| The birds in wandering do take their way | G |
| Ah whither is their strange and trackless flight | A |
| Amid the dying embers of the day | G |
| Into the clouds that seek to veil the sun | H |
| They seem to float on strange bright wings of fire | I |
| Beyond the shades that tell us day is done | H |
| They soar on spirit wings that never tire | I |
| - | |
| Ah strange strange mysteries indeed are these | J |
| To watch the sunlight fade and die away | G |
| To hear the whispering of the dark pine trees | J |
| To see the deepening shadows 'round us play | G |
| And then to feel that all that 'round us lies | K |
| Is e'en beyond the knowledge of the soul | L |
| We seek to grasp the truth it quickly flies | K |
| And leaves us full of doubt | M |
| - | |
| Around us roll | L |
| The spheres that light the way to heaven's shore | N |
| And soon their lights will brighten all the sky | O |
| And yet we dare not read their mystic lore | N |
| But only stand and wait and wonder why | O |
| Beyond beyond in deep mysterious space | B |
| They wander through the darkness all the night | A |
| Each one within its own allotted place | B |
| - | |
| The stars' dim course the birds' lone dreamy flight | A |
| Will ever fill our souls with doubt and fear | D |
| We walk upon life's unknown shadowy shore | N |
| With wandering steps while through the heavens clear | D |
| The stars their music sing forevermore | D |
