The Forest Path Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDE AFAF GHGI GDGE| Oh the charm of idle dreaming | A |
| Where the dappled shadows dance | B |
| All the leafy aisles are teeming | A |
| With the lure of old romance | B |
| - | |
| Down into the forest dipping | A |
| Deep and deeper as we go | C |
| One might fancy dryads slipping | A |
| Where the white stemmed birches grow | C |
| - | |
| Lurking gnome and freakish fairy | D |
| In the fern may peep and hide | E |
| Sure their whispers low and airy | D |
| Ring us in on every side | E |
| - | |
| Saw you where the pines are rocking | A |
| Nymph's white shoulder as she ran | F |
| Lo that music faint and mocking | A |
| Is it not a pipe of Pan | F |
| - | |
| Hear you that elusive laughter | G |
| Of the hidden waterfall | H |
| Nay a satyr speeding after | G |
| Ivy crowned bacchanal | I |
| - | |
| Far and farther as we wander | G |
| Sweeter shall our roaming be | D |
| Come for dim and winsome yonder | G |
| Lies the path to Arcady | E |
