Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHIJDJDWhere 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 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 |
