Forward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDEFF| Let 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 |
