The Lost Path Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHGH IJIJ KLKM| Alone they walked their fingers knit together | A |
| And swaying listlessly as might a swing | B |
| Wherein Dan Cupid dangled in the weather | A |
| Of some sun flooded afternoon of Spring | B |
| - | |
| Within the clover fields the tickled cricket | C |
| Laughed lightly as they loitered down the lane | D |
| And from the covert of the hazel thicket | E |
| The squirrel peeped and laughed at them again | F |
| - | |
| The bumble bee that tipped the lily vases | G |
| Along the road side in the shadows dim | H |
| Went following the blossoms of their faces | G |
| As though their sweets must needs be shared with him | H |
| - | |
| Between the pasture bars the wondering cattle | I |
| Stared wistfully and from their mellow bells | J |
| Shook out a welcoming whose dreamy rattle | I |
| Fell swooningly away in faint farewells | J |
| - | |
| And though at last the gloom of night fell o'er them | K |
| And folded all the landscape from their eyes | L |
| They only know the dusky path before them | K |
| Was leading safely on to Paradise | M |
