The Voyagers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHIHIAFCF JKJLMNON| HOW was it with the Genoese | A |
| What feeling filled his heaving breast | B |
| When far across the morning seas | C |
| He saw the island of his quest | B |
| Perchance beyond the forest crown | D |
| And shining sands of that new clime | E |
| He saw a light of long renown | D |
| That blazed across the Seas of Time | E |
| Or maybe in that hour grown wise | F |
| He would have bartered there and then | G |
| His life for some sweet life that lies | F |
| In utter peace unnamed of men | G |
| For what is Fame however brave | H |
| Beside the charms of endless peace | I |
| The cool sweet quiet of the grave | H |
| To be and having been to cease | I |
| We quest not like the Genoese | A |
| But after sailing under skies | F |
| That bend and brood o'er lonely seas | C |
| We light at last on some surprise | F |
| Our eyes grow large we stand amazed | J |
| The past is past our youth is gone | K |
| The fronting hope that boldly blazed | J |
| Before our eyes grows pale and wan | L |
| For every man must come to this | M |
| With aching heart and eyes unsealed | N |
| That he shall know the thing he is | O |
| And wonder at himself revealed | N |
