The Voyagers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD DDEE FFGG| We shall launch our shallop on waters blue from some dim primrose shore | A |
| We shall sail with the magic of dusk behind and enchanted coasts before | A |
| Over oceans that stretch to the sunset land where lost Atlantis lies | B |
| And our pilot shall be the vesper star that shines in the amber skies | B |
| - | |
| The sirens will call to us again all sweet and demon fair | C |
| And a pale mermaiden will beckon us with mist on her night black hair | C |
| We shall see the flash of her ivory arms her mocking and luring face | D |
| And her guiling laughter will echo through the great wind winnowed space | D |
| - | |
| But we shall not linger for woven spell or sea nymph's sorceries | D |
| It is ours to seek for the fount of youth and the gold of Hesperides | D |
| Till the harp of the waves in its rhythmic beat keeps time to our pulses' swing | E |
| And the orient welkin is smit to flame with auroral crimsoning | E |
| - | |
| And at last on some white and wondrous dawn we shall reach the fairy isle | F |
| Where our hope and our dream are waiting us and the to morrows smile | F |
| With song on our lips and faith in our hearts we sail on our ancient quest | G |
| And each man shall find at the end of the voyage the thing he loves the best | G |
