The Shady Lane Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECCCFGGH| Whence comest thou shady lane and why and how | A |
| Thou where with idle heart ten years ago | B |
| I wandered and with childhood's paces slow | B |
| So long unthought of and remembered now | A |
| Again in vision clear thy pathwayed side | C |
| I tread and view thy orchard plots again | D |
| With yellow fruitage hung and glimmering grain | E |
| Standing or shocked through the thick hedge espied | C |
| This hot still noon of August brings the sight | C |
| This quelling silence as of eve or night | C |
| Wherein Earth feeling as a mother may | F |
| After her travail's latest bitterest throes | G |
| Looks up so seemeth it one half repose | G |
| One half in effort straining suffering still | H |
