Mine Host Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| There stands a hostel by a travelled way | A |
| Life is the road and Death the worthy host | B |
| Each guest he greets nor ever lacks to say | A |
| How have ye fared They answer him the most | B |
| This lodging place is other than we sought | C |
| We had intended farther but the gloom | D |
| Came on apace and found us ere we thought | C |
| Yet will we lodge Thou hast abundant room | D |
| - | |
| Within sit haggard men that speak no word | E |
| No fire gleams their cheerful welcome shed | F |
| No voice of fellowship or strife is heard | E |
| But silence of a multitude of dead | F |
| Naught can I offer ye quoth Death but rest | G |
| And to his chamber leads each tired guest | G |
