Morning Land Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDBB EEBB| Around and beneath the dull grey mist and the sullen roar of the sea | A |
| Scant footing place on the sheer cliffs face with death for a penalty | A |
| But afar and above there is rest and love there is hope for brain and hand | B |
| The valleys fair and the crystal air and the peaks of Morning Land | B |
| - | |
| Around and beneath are the mists of toil and the sullen roar of the world | C |
| And the sneer of scorn for a foothold gone and a climber backward hurled | C |
| But afar and above are the hopes of men with the heart and will to stand | B |
| On the thin rift s edge and the slippery ledge that lead to Morning Land | B |
| - | |
| They slip and fall from the sheer cliffs face ah God they are falling still | D |
| But another leaps for the vacant place and another his place will fill | D |
| Tis little they fear the coward s sneer or the scorn of a selfish band | B |
| Whose eyes are set on the parapet and the heights of Morning Land | B |
| - | |
| Hark to the ring as their rock picks swing and bite for a foothold there | E |
| Grip by grip they are straining up that others may travel fair | E |
| The world will follow them all some day the men it has shunned and banned | B |
| The gallant hearts that hewed the way that leads to Morning Land | B |
