To The Man Of The High North Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CECE FGFG HIHIJJ| My rhymes are rough and often in my rhyming | A |
| I've drifted silver sailed on seas of dream | B |
| Hearing afar the bells of Elfland chiming | A |
| Seeing the groves of Arcadie agleam | B |
| - | |
| I was the thrall of Beauty that rejoices | C |
| From peak snow diademed to regal star | D |
| Yet to mine aerie ever pierced the voices | C |
| The pregnant voices of the Things That Are | D |
| - | |
| The Here the Now the vast Forlorn around us | C |
| The gold delirium the ferine strife | E |
| The lusts that lure us on the hates that hound us | C |
| Our red rags in the patch work quilt of Life | E |
| - | |
| The nameless men who nameless rivers travel | F |
| And in strange valleys greet strange deaths alone | G |
| The grim intrepid ones who would unravel | F |
| The mysteries that shroud the Polar Zone | G |
| - | |
| These will I sing and if one of you linger | H |
| Over my pages in the Long Long Night | I |
| And on some lone line lay a calloused finger | H |
| Saying Lo It's human true it hits me right | I |
| Then will I count this loving toil well spent | J |
| Then will I dream awhile content content | J |
