The Old Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IAJA| THE ROAD is left that once was trod | A |
| By man and heavy laden beast | B |
| And new ways opened iron shod | A |
| That bind the land from west to east | B |
| - | |
| I asked of Him who all things knows | C |
| Why none who lived now passed that way | D |
| Where rose the dust the grass now grows | C |
| A still low voice was heard to say | D |
| - | |
| Thou knowest not why I change the course | E |
| Of him who travels learn to go | F |
| Obey the Spirit s gentle force | E |
| Nor ask thou where the stream may flow | F |
| - | |
| Man shall not walk in his own ways | G |
| For he is blind and cannot see | H |
| But let him trust and lengthened days | G |
| Shall lead his feet to heaven and Me | H |
| - | |
| Then shall the grass the path grow o er | I |
| That his own wilfulness has trod | A |
| And man nor beast shall pass it more | J |
| But he shall walk with Me his God | A |
