The Fugitives Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCD EEFGG HHII HHHJJ| We are they that go that go | A |
| Plunging before the hidden blow | A |
| We run the byways of the earth | B |
| For we are fugitive from birth | B |
| Blindfolded with wide hands abroad | C |
| That sow that sow the sullen sod | D |
| - | |
| We cannot wait we cannot stop | E |
| For flushing field or quickened crop | E |
| The orange bow of dusky dawn | F |
| Glimmers our smoking swath upon | G |
| Blindfolded still we hurry on | G |
| - | |
| How we do know the ways we run | H |
| That are blindfolded from the sun | H |
| We stagger swiftly to the call | I |
| Our wide hands feeling for the wall | I |
| - | |
| Oh ye who climb to some clear heaven | H |
| By grace of day and leisure given | H |
| Pity us fugitive and driven | H |
| The lithe whip curling on our track | J |
| The headlong haste that looks not back | J |
