The Voice Of Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCCD CECEE| Forty Augusts aye and several more ago | A |
| When I paced the headlands loosed from dull employ | B |
| The waves huzza'd like a multitude below | A |
| In the sway of an all including joy | B |
| Without cloy | B |
| - | |
| Blankly I walked there a double decade after | C |
| When thwarts had flung their toils in front of me | D |
| And I heard the waters wagging in a long ironic laughter | C |
| At the lot of men and all the vapoury | C |
| Things that be | D |
| - | |
| Wheeling change has set me again standing where | C |
| Once I heard the waves huzza at Lammas tide | E |
| But they supplicate now like a congregation there | C |
| Who murmur the Confession I outside | E |
| Prayer denied | E |
