Bob's Lane Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD ECEC FDGD| Women he liked did shovel bearded Bob | A |
| Old Farmer Hayward of the Heath but he | B |
| Loved horses He himself was like a cob | A |
| And leather coloured Also he loved a tree | B |
| - | |
| For the life in them he loved most living things | C |
| But a tree chiefly All along the lane | D |
| He planted elms where now the stormcock sings | C |
| That travellers hear from the slow climbing train | D |
| - | |
| Till then the track had never had a name | E |
| For all its thicket and the nightingales | C |
| That should have earned it No one was to blame | E |
| To name a thing beloved man sometimes fails | C |
| - | |
| Many years since Bob Hayward died and now | F |
| None passes there because the mist and the rain | D |
| Out of the elms have turned the lane to slough | G |
| And gloom the name alone survives Bob's Lane | D |
