The Onward Course Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE| Our course is onward onward into light | A |
| What though the darkness gathereth amain | B |
| Yet to return or tarry both are vain | B |
| How tarry when around us is thick night | A |
| Whither return what flower yet ever might | A |
| In days of gloom and cold and stormy rain | B |
| Enclose itself in its green bud again | B |
| Hiding from wrath of tempest out of sight | A |
| - | |
| Courage we travel through a darksome cave | C |
| But still as nearer to the light we draw | D |
| Fresh gales will reach us from the upper air | E |
| And wholesome dews of heaven our foreheads lave | C |
| The darkness lighten more till full of awe | F |
| We stand in the open sunshine unaware | E |
