Down Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CADA EABA BABA| Comrades up Let us row down stream in this first rare dawnlight | A |
| While far in the clear north west the late moon whitens and wanes | B |
| Before us the sun will rise deep purpling headland and islet | A |
| It is well to meet him thus with the life astir in our veins | B |
| - | |
| The wakening birds will sing for us in the woods wind shaken | C |
| And the solitude of the hills will be broken by hymns to the light | A |
| As we sweep past drowsing hamlets still feathered by dreams of slumber | D |
| And leave behind us the shadows that fell with the falling of night | A |
| - | |
| The young day's strength is ours in sinew and thew and muscle | E |
| We are filled and thrilled with the spirit that dwells in the waste and wold | A |
| Glamor of wind and water charm of the wildernesses | B |
| Oh the dear joy of it greater than human hearts can hold | A |
| - | |
| While the world's tired children sleep we bend to our oars with faces | B |
| Set in our eager gladness towards the morning's gate | A |
| Lo 'tis the sweet of the day On comrades mine for beyond us | B |
| All its dower of beauty its glory and wonder wait | A |
