The Pilgrims Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBC DEDEEC FGFGGH| An uphill path sun gleams between the showers | A |
| Where every beam that broke the leaden sky | B |
| Lit other hills with fairer ways than ours | A |
| Some clustered graves where half our memories lie | B |
| And one grim Shadow creeping ever nigh | B |
| And this was Life | C |
| - | |
| Wherein we did another's burden seek | D |
| The tired feet we helped upon the road | E |
| The hand we gave the weary and the weak | D |
| The miles we lightened one another's load | E |
| When faint to falling onward yet we strode | E |
| This too was Life | C |
| - | |
| Till at the upland as we turned to go | F |
| Amid fair meadows dusky in the night | G |
| The mists fell back upon the road below | F |
| Broke on our tired eyes the western light | G |
| The very graves were for a moment bright | G |
| And this was Death | H |
