Forward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDEFFLet me look always forward Never back | A |
Was I not formed for progress Otherwise | B |
With onward pointing feet and searching eyes | B |
Would God have set me squarely on the track | A |
Up which we all must labour with life's pack | A |
Yonder the goal of all this travel lies | B |
What matters it if yesterday the skies | B |
With light were golden or with clouds were black | A |
I would not lose to morrow's glow of dawn | C |
By peering backward after sun's long set | D |
New hope is fairer than an old regret | D |
Let me pursue my journey and press on | E |
Nor tearful eyed stand ever in one spot | F |
A briny statue like the wife of Lot | F |
