Arrival Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD| Across a thousand miles of sea a hundred leagues of land | A |
| Along a path I had not traced and could not understand | A |
| I travelled fast and far for this to take thee by the hand | A |
| - | |
| A pilgrim knowing not the shrine where he would bend his knee | B |
| A mariner without a dream of what his port would be | B |
| So fared I with a seeking heart until I came to thee | B |
| - | |
| O cooler than a grove of palm in some heat weary place | C |
| O fairer than an isle of calm after the wild sea race | C |
| The quiet room adorned with flowers where first I saw thy face | C |
| - | |
| Then furl the sail let fall the oar forget the paths of foam | D |
| The Power that made me wander far at last has brought me home | D |
| To thee dear haven of my heart and I no more will roam | D |
