The Rovers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBCC CCBB DDBB CCEE| Over the fields we go through the sweets of the purple clover | A |
| That letters a message for us as for every vagrant rover | A |
| Before us the dells are abloom and a leaping brook calls after | A |
| Feeling its kinship with us in lore of dreams and laughter | A |
| - | |
| Out of the valleys of moonlight elfin voices are calling | B |
| Down from the misty hills faint far greetings are falling | B |
| Whisper the grasses to us murmuring gleeful and airy | C |
| Knowing us pixy led seeking the haunts of faery | C |
| - | |
| The wind is our joyful comrade wherever our free feet wander | C |
| Over the tawny wolds to the meres and meadows yonder | C |
| The mild eyed stars go with us or the rain so swiftly flying | B |
| Racing us over the wastes where the hemlocks and pines are sighing | B |
| - | |
| Across the upland dim down through the beckoning hollow | D |
| Oh we go too far and fast for the feet of care to follow | D |
| The gypsy fire in our hearts for the wilderness wide and luring | B |
| Other loves may fail but this is great and enduring | B |
| - | |
| Other delights may pall but the joy of the open never | C |
| The charm of the silent places must win and hold us forever | C |
| Bondage of walls we leave with never a glance behind us | E |
| Under the lucent sky the delights of the rover shall find us | E |
