Greatness Lives Apart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABA CDDCCDGreat natures live apart the mountain gray | A |
May call no comrade to his lonely side | B |
The giant ocean wrapped in storm and spray | A |
Has no companion for her endless tide | B |
The forest monarch where his parents died | B |
Can find no brother in his lofty sway | A |
And mighty rivers chafe their margins wide | B |
Where infant rills and childish fountains play | A |
- | |
So heroes live no raptured blossoms start | C |
Where rugged heights of human glory end | D |
No tender songs of loving beauty blend | D |
Their chorus in the great man's peerless heart | C |
Fate fills their souls with magnitude and art | C |
Supplies their lives with no congenial friend | D |
