A Snow Mountain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABAB CDCDEF| Can I make white enough my thought for thee | A |
| Or wash my words in light Thou hast no mate | B |
| To sit aloft in the silence silently | A |
| And twin those matchless heights undesecrate | B |
| Reverend as Lear when lorn of shelter he | A |
| Stood with his old white head surprised at fate | B |
| Alone as Galileo when set free | A |
| Before the stars he mused disconsolate | B |
| - | |
| Ay and remote as the dead lords of song | C |
| Great masters who have made us what we are | D |
| For thou and they have taught us how to long | C |
| And feel a sacred want of the fair and far | D |
| Reign and keep life in this our deep desire | E |
| Our only greatness is that we aspire | F |
