The North Star Whispers To The Blacksmith's Son Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIK| The North Star whispers You are one | A |
| Of those whose course no chance can change | B |
| You blunder but are not undone | A |
| Your spirit task is fixed and strange | B |
| - | |
| When here you walk a bloodless shade | C |
| A singer all men else forget | D |
| Your chants of hammer forge and spade | C |
| Will move the prarie village yet | D |
| - | |
| That young stiff necked reviling town | E |
| Beholds your fancies on her walls | F |
| And paints them out or tears them down | E |
| Or bars them from her feasting halls | F |
| - | |
| Yet shall the fragments still remain | G |
| Yet shall remain some watch tower strong | H |
| That ivy vines will not disdain | G |
| Haunted and trembling with your song | H |
| - | |
| Your flambeau in the dusk shall burn | I |
| Flame high in storms flame white and clear | J |
| Your ghost in gleaming robes return | I |
| And burn a deathless incense here | K |
