The Escape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC AAAA DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJK LCLC| Like one who runs | A |
| Fearful at night he knows not why | B |
| Dreading the loneliness yet shuns | A |
| The highway's casual company | C |
| - | |
| Wherefore he hastes | A |
| The friendly gloom of ancient trees | A |
| Unheeding and the shining wastes | A |
| Lying broad and quiet as the seas | A |
| - | |
| The beauty of night | D |
| Hating for very fear until | E |
| Beyond the bend a lowly light | D |
| Beams single from a lowly sill | E |
| - | |
| And the poor fool | F |
| Flying the sacred solemn dark | G |
| Leaves gladly the large cool | F |
| Night for that serviceable spark | G |
| - | |
| And thankful then | H |
| To have 'scaped the peril of the way | I |
| Turns not his timid steps again | H |
| That night but waits the common day | I |
| - | |
| So I as weak | J |
| Have fled the great hills of Thy love | K |
| Too faint to hear what Thou dost speak | J |
| Too feeble with fear to look above | K |
| - | |
| And hasten to win | L |
| Some flickering brief security | C |
| In sinful sleep or waking sin | L |
| From the enfolding thought of Thee | C |
