Country Roads ~ White Horse Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCCCD EAEEACBCCCB FBFFBCGCCCG| By White Horse Tavern White Horse Road | A |
| In olden days wound down | B |
| And many a waggon bore its load | A |
| And many a bullock felt the goad | A |
| From town to country town | B |
| Thro' Ringwood on by hill and vale | C |
| Their patient way they went | D |
| Until they came to Lilydale | C |
| The olden town of Lilydale | C |
| And teamsters paused at Lilydale | C |
| A place of calm content | D |
| - | |
| But days of bitumen and tar | E |
| Have changed the ancient mode | A |
| And now the speeding motor car | E |
| Where traffic cops and bowsers are | E |
| Go down the White Horse Road | A |
| Upon a smooth broad way they sail | C |
| Till sudden up and down | B |
| The bumps begin at Lilydale | C |
| The rocky road to Lilydale | C |
| The holey road to Lilydale | C |
| A very peaceful town | B |
| - | |
| Beyond the town the bumps are past | F |
| And vexed springs settle down | B |
| But many an angry look is cast | F |
| And many a curse speeds backwards fast | F |
| Toward that backward town | B |
| On to the foothills leads the trail | C |
| By smooth and pleasant ways | G |
| But oh that stretch thro' Lilydale | C |
| The sleepy town of Lilydale | C |
| Where folk still think in Lilydale | C |
| In terms of bullock drays | G |
