Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF BGHEIJKLMBNBC BAOB BPDB| The ox team and the automobile | A |
| Stood face to face on the long red road | B |
| The long red road was narrow | C |
| At the turn of the hill | D |
| And below was the sun dancing river | E |
| Afoam over the rocks | F |
| - | |
| The mild mannered beasts stood par chewing their cud | B |
| The stubble bearded man from the mountains | G |
| Rustier than his wagon | H |
| Unmoving eyed the proud chauffeur | E |
| The little ragged girl | I |
| With sun bleached hair | J |
| Sitting on a ahrd yellow powdrey bag | K |
| Looked across at the smart motor hats of the ladies | L |
| And their chiffon scarfs | M |
| That the light breeze fingered | B |
| The proud chauffeur blew his horn | N |
| But nothing moved | B |
| Except the foaming sun dancing river down below | C |
| - | |
| Then he jerked his head | B |
| And turned the wheel | A |
| And slowly carefully | O |
| The automobile moved back over the long red road | B |
| - | |
| And the mild mannered beasts lifted their feet | B |
| And the stubble bearded man flipped his rein | P |
| Ad the ragged little girl looked ahead up the hill | D |
| And the ox team lumbered and limped over the long red road | B |
