Over The Hills And Far Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHIJDJD| Where forlorn sunsets flare and fade | A |
| On desolate sea and lonely sand | B |
| Out of the silence and the shade | A |
| What is the voice of strange command | B |
| Calling you still as friend calls friend | C |
| With love that cannot brook delay | D |
| To rise and follow the ways that wend | C |
| Over the hills and far away | D |
| - | |
| Hark in the city street on street | E |
| A roaring reach of death and life | F |
| Of vortices that clash and fleet | E |
| And ruin in appointed strife | F |
| Hark to it calling calling clear | G |
| Calling until you cannot stay | D |
| From dearer things than your own most dear | G |
| Over the hills and far away | D |
| - | |
| Out of the sound of the ebb and flow | H |
| Out of the sight of lamp and star | I |
| It calls you where the good winds blow | H |
| And the unchanging meadows are | I |
| From faded hopes and hopes agleam | J |
| It calls you calls you night and day | D |
| Beyond the dark into the dream | J |
| Over the hills and far away | D |
