The Higher Kinship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEDFGE| Life is too grim with anxious eating care | A |
| To cherish what is best Our souls are scarred | B |
| By daily agonies and our conscience marred | B |
| By petty tyrannies that waste and wear | A |
| Why is this human fate so hard to bear | A |
| Could we but live with hill lakes silver starred | B |
| Or where the eternal silence leaneth toward | C |
| The awful front of nature waste and bare | A |
| - | |
| Then might we brothers to the lofty thought | D |
| And inward self communion of her dream | E |
| Into that closer kin with love be brought | D |
| Where mighty hills and woods and waters wan | F |
| Moon paved at midnight or godlike at dawn | G |
| Hold all earth's aspirations in their gleam | E |
