The Greatness Of The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFG HHCCII CHHCH HCCCHH| Through the world which the Spirit creative and kind | A |
| First formed out of chaos I fly like the wind | A |
| Until on the strand | B |
| Of its billows I land | B |
| My anchor cast forth where the breeze blows no more | C |
| And Creation's last boundary stands on the shore | C |
| - | |
| I saw infant stars into being arise | D |
| For thousands of years to roll on through the skies | D |
| I saw them in play | E |
| Seek their goal far away | E |
| For a moment my fugitive gaze wandered on | F |
| I looked round me and lo all those bright stars had flown | G |
| - | |
| Madly yearning to reach the dark kingdom of night | H |
| I boldly steer on with the speed of the light | H |
| All misty and drear | C |
| The dim heavens appear | C |
| While embryo systems and seas at their source | I |
| Are whirling around the sun wanderer's course | I |
| - | |
| When sudden a pilgrim I see drawing near | C |
| Along the lone path quot Stay What seekest thou here quot | H |
| quot My bark tempest tossed | H |
| I sail toward the land where the breeze blows no more | C |
| And Creation's last boundary stands on the shore quot | H |
| - | |
| quot Stay thou sailest in vain 'Tis INFINITY yonder quot | H |
| quot 'Tis INFINITY too where thou pilgrim wouldst wander | C |
| Eagle thoughts that aspire | C |
| Let your proud pinions tire | C |
| For 'tis here that sweet phantasy bold to the last | H |
| Her anchor in hopeless dejection must cast quot | H |
