To The Clouds Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBDAEFEFGGThrough the unchanging heaven as ye have sped | A |
Speed onward still a strange wild company | B |
Fleet children of the waters Glorious ye | B |
Whether the sun lift up his shining head | A |
High throned at noontide and established | C |
Among the shifting pillars or we see | B |
The sable ghosts of air sleep mournfully | D |
Against the sunlight passionless and dead | A |
Take thus a glory oh thou higher Sun | E |
From all the cloudy labour of man's hand | F |
Whether the quickening nations rise and run | E |
Or in the market place we idly stand | F |
Casting huge shadows over these thy plains | G |
Even thence O God draw thy rich gifts of rains | G |
