To The Muse Of The North Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGDDHHIIJK LL| O muse that swayest the sad Northern Song | A |
| Thy right hand full of smiting of wrong | A |
| Thy left hand holding pity thy breast | B |
| Heaving with hope of that so certain rest | B |
| Thou with the grey eyes kind and unafraid | C |
| The soft lips trembling not though they have said | D |
| The doom of the World and those that dwell therein | E |
| The lips that smile not though thy children win | E |
| The fated Love that draws the fated Death | F |
| O borne adown the fresh stream of thy breath | F |
| Let some word reach my ears and touch my heart | G |
| That if it may be I may have a part | G |
| In that great sorrow of thy children dead | D |
| That vexed the brow and bowed adown the head | D |
| Whitened the hair made life a wondrous dream | H |
| And death the murmur of a restful stream | H |
| But left no stain upon those souls of thine | I |
| Whose greatness through the tangled world doth shine | I |
| O Mother and Love and Sister all in one | J |
| Come thou for sure I am enough alone | K |
| That thou thine arms about my heart shouldst throw | L |
| And wrap me in the grief of long ago | L |
