The Seeker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGG HIJIKDLDMM| I sought for my happiness over the world | A |
| Oh eager and far was my quest | B |
| I sought it on mountain and desert and sea | C |
| I asked it of east and of west | B |
| I sought it in beautiful cities of men | D |
| On shores that were sunny and blue | E |
| And laughter and lyric and pleasure were mine | F |
| In palaces wondrous to view | E |
| Oh the world gave me much to my plea and my prayer | G |
| But never I found aught of happiness there | G |
| - | |
| Then I took my way back to a valley of old | H |
| And a little brown house by a rill | I |
| Where the winds piped all day in the sentinel firs | J |
| That guarded the crest of the hill | I |
| I went by the path that my childhood had known | K |
| Through the bracken and up by the glen | D |
| And I paused at the gate of the garden to drink | L |
| The scent of sweet briar again | D |
| The homelight shone out through the dusk as of yore | M |
| And happiness waited for me at the door | M |
