Tewkesbury Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| It is good to be out on the road and going one knows not where | A |
| Going through meadow and village one knows not whither or why | B |
| Through the grey light drift of the dust in the keen cool rush of the air | A |
| Under the flying white clouds and the broad blue lift of the sky | B |
| - | |
| And to halt at the chattering brook in a tall green fern at the brink | C |
| Where the harebell grows and the gorse and the foxgloves purple and white | D |
| Where the shifty eyed delicate deer troop down to the brook to drink | C |
| When the stars are mellow and large at the coming on of the night | D |
| - | |
| O to feel the beat of the rain and the homely smell of the earth | E |
| Is a tune for the blood to jig to and joy past power of words | F |
| And the blessed green comely meadows are all a ripple with mirth | E |
| At the noise of the lambs at play and the dear wild cry of the birds | F |
