The Trail To Lillooet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGDD| Sob of fall and song of forest come you here on haunting quest | A |
| Calling through the seas and silence from God's country of the west | A |
| Where the mountain pass is narrow and the torrent white and strong | B |
| Down its rocky throated canyon sings its golden throated song | B |
| - | |
| You are singing there together through the God begotten nights | C |
| And the leaning stars are listening above the distant heights | C |
| That lift like points of opal in the crescent coronet | D |
| About whose golden setting sweeps the trail to Lillooet | D |
| - | |
| Trail that winds and trail that wanders like a cobweb hanging high | E |
| Just a hazy thread outlining mid way of the stream and sky | E |
| Where the Fraser River canyon yawns its pathway to the sea | F |
| But half the world has shouldered up between its song and me | F |
| - | |
| Here the placid English August and the sea encircled miles | G |
| There God's copper coloured sunshine beating through the lonely aisles | G |
| Where the waterfalls and forest voice for ever their duet | D |
| And call across the canyon on the trail to Lillooet | D |
