In Memoriam A. H. H.: 22. The Path By Which We Twain Did Go Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHHG IJJI| The path by which we twain did go | A |
| Which led by tracts that pleased us well | B |
| Thro' four sweet years arose and fell | B |
| From flower to flower from snow to snow | A |
| And we with singing cheer'd the way | C |
| And crown'd with all the season lent | D |
| From April on to April went | D |
| And glad at heart from May to May | C |
| But where the path we walk'd began | E |
| To slant the fifth autumnal slope | F |
| As we descended following Hope | F |
| There sat the Shadow fear'd of man | E |
| - | |
| Who broke our fair companionship | G |
| And spread his mantle dark and cold | H |
| And wrapt thee formless in the fold | H |
| And dull'd the murmur on thy lip | G |
| - | |
| And bore thee where I could not see | I |
| Nor follow tho' I walk in haste | J |
| And think that somewhere in the waste | J |
| The Shadow sits and waits for me | I |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
