The Turn Of The Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| I was playing with my hoop along the road | A |
| Just where the bushes are when suddenly | B |
| There came a shout I ran away and stowed | A |
| Myself beneath a bush and watched to see | B |
| What made the noise and then around the bend | C |
| I saw a woman running She was old | D |
| And wrinkle faced and had big teeth The end | C |
| Of her red shawl caught on a bush and rolled | D |
| Right off her and her hair fell down Her face | E |
| Was awful white and both her eyes looked sick | F |
| And she was talking queer 'O God of Grace ' | G |
| Said she 'where is the child ' and flew back quick | F |
| The way she came and screamed and shook her hands | H |
| Maybe she was a witch from foreign lands | H |
