The Little Roads Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB BFGFAFBH IJKJLJMJ

The great roads are all grown overA
That seemed so firm and whiteB
The deep black forests have covered themC
How should I walk arightB
How should I thread these tangled mazesD
Or grope to that far off lightB
I stumble round the thickets and they turn meE
Back to the thickets and the nightB
-
Yet sometimes at a word an elfin pass wordB
O thin deep sweet with beaded rainF
There shines through a mist of ragged robinsG
The old lost April coloured laneF
That leads me from myself for at a whisperA
Where the strong limbs thrust in vainF
At a breath if my heart help another heartB
The path shines out for me againH
-
A thin thread a rambling lane for loversI
To the light of the world's one MayJ
Where the white dropping flakes may wet our facesK
As we lift them to the bloom bowed sprayJ
O Master shall we ask Thee then for high roadsL
Or down upon our knees and prayJ
That Thou wilt ever lose us in Thy little lanesM
And lead us by a wandering wayJ
