An Arctic Quest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACABBABDEDFEDE| O proudly name their names who bravely sail | A |
| To seek brave lost in Arctic snows and seas | B |
| Bring money and bring ships and on strong knees | B |
| Pray prayers so strong that not one word can fail | A |
| To pierce God's listening heart | C |
| Rigid and pale | A |
| The lost men's bodies waiting drift and freeze | B |
| Yet shall their solemn dead lips tell to these | B |
| Who find them secrets mighty to prevail | A |
| On farther darker icier seas | B |
| I go | D |
| Alone unhelped unprayed for Perishing | E |
| For years in realms of more than Arctic snow | D |
| My heart has lingered | F |
| Will the poor dead thing | E |
| Be sign to quide past bitter flood and floe | D |
| To open sea some strong heart triumphing | E |
