The Little Roads Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB BFGFAFBH IJKJLJMJ| The great roads are all grown over | A |
| That seemed so firm and white | B |
| The deep black forests have covered them | C |
| How should I walk aright | B |
| How should I thread these tangled mazes | D |
| Or grope to that far off light | B |
| I stumble round the thickets and they turn me | E |
| Back to the thickets and the night | B |
| - | |
| Yet sometimes at a word an elfin pass word | B |
| O thin deep sweet with beaded rain | F |
| There shines through a mist of ragged robins | G |
| The old lost April coloured lane | F |
| That leads me from myself for at a whisper | A |
| Where the strong limbs thrust in vain | F |
| At a breath if my heart help another heart | B |
| The path shines out for me again | H |
| - | |
| A thin thread a rambling lane for lovers | I |
| To the light of the world's one May | J |
| Where the white dropping flakes may wet our faces | K |
| As we lift them to the bloom bowed spray | J |
| O Master shall we ask Thee then for high roads | L |
| Or down upon our knees and pray | J |
| That Thou wilt ever lose us in Thy little lanes | M |
| And lead us by a wandering way | J |
