The Grey Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDDCEFEFGHIIJ KLKMFNOON PQPJRCDDC| A sun flash on his mounting wing | A |
| A wild note soaring high | B |
| The lark is up the minstrel king | A |
| The poet of the sky | B |
| To thrill to sing of Youth and Spring | A |
| Those golden numbers flowed | C |
| What message then | D |
| Has he for men | D |
| Who tread the long grey road | C |
| Knee deep in grass the cattle stand | E |
| The river winds along | F |
| And chants through sunny meadow land | E |
| A low mysterious song | F |
| Ah sunlit vale and lover s tale | G |
| Youth s day is quickly gone | H |
| Past current beat | I |
| And meadow sweet | I |
| The grey road stretches on | J |
| - | |
| Grim bastions frowning down below | K |
| And rising tier on tier | L |
| Sublime and crowned with ageless snow | K |
| The awful peaks appear | M |
| The heights belong unto the strong | F |
| Who scale by crags untried | N |
| The great cliffs face | O |
| But at its base | O |
| The grey road turns aside | N |
| - | |
| No hope in Heaven no minstrel strain | P |
| No vales where summer shone | Q |
| A leaden sky a silent plain | P |
| The grey road stretching on | J |
| O Christ who trod the thorny path | R |
| And bore the bitter load | C |
| Have mercy then | D |
| On weary men | D |
| Who tread the long grey road | C |
