Up-hill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Does the road wind up hill all the way | A |
| Yes to the very end | B |
| Will the day's journey take the whole long day | A |
| From morn to night my friend | B |
| - | |
| But is there for the night a resting place | C |
| A roof for when the slow dark hours begin | D |
| May not the darkness hide it from my face | C |
| You cannot miss that inn | D |
| - | |
| Shall I meet other wayfarers at night | E |
| Those who have gone before | F |
| Then must I knock or call when just in sight | E |
| They will not keep you standing at that door | F |
| - | |
| Shall I find comfort travel sore and weak | G |
| Of labour you shall find the sum | H |
| Will there be beds for me and all who seek | G |
| Yea beds for all who come | H |
