The Universal Route Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIHI JKLK| As we journey along with a laugh and a song | A |
| We see on youth s flower decked slope | B |
| Like a beacon of light shining fair on the sight | C |
| The beautiful Station of Hope | B |
| - | |
| But the wheels of old Time roll along as we climb | D |
| And our youth speeds away on the years | E |
| And with hearts that are numb with life s sorrows we come | F |
| To the mist covered Station of Tears | G |
| - | |
| Still onward we pass where the milestones alas | H |
| Are tombs of our dead to the West | I |
| Where glitters and gleams in the dying sunbeams | H |
| The sweet silent Station of Rest | I |
| - | |
| All rest is but change and no grave can estrange | J |
| The soul from its Parent above | K |
| And scorning the rod it soars back to God | L |
| To the limitless City of Love | K |
