The Road Back Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJK LLMMNNMMKOPPQQRRGG| Come walk with me and Memory | A |
| And let us see what we shall see | A |
| A wild green lane of stones and weeds | B |
| That to a wilder woodland leads | B |
| An old board gate the lichens crust | C |
| Whose ancient hinges croak with rust | C |
| A vale a creek and a bridge of planks | D |
| And the wild sunflowers that wall its banks | D |
| A path that winds through shine and shade | E |
| To a ferned and wildflowered forest glade | E |
| Where out of a grotto a voice replies | F |
| With a faint hollo to your voice that cries | F |
| And every wind that passes seems | G |
| A foot that follows from Lands o' Dreams | G |
| A voice a foot and a shadow too | H |
| That whispers of things your childhood knew | H |
| A girl that waited a boy that came | I |
| And an old beech tree where he carved her name | I |
| Where still he sees her whom still he hears | J |
| Bidding him come through the long gone years | K |
| How oft she beckons your heart and mine | L |
| From the farmhouse window trailed deep with vine | L |
| And porched with roses where all must know | M |
| She used to live in the long ago | M |
| The farmhouse there at the end o' the lane | N |
| With the sunset twinkling its windowpane | N |
| Where she smiles as she smiled in the Long ago | M |
| The farmer's daughter you used to know | M |
| Who has not changed to your heart for years | K |
| Though her face you often see through tears | O |
| Who wears her youth as she did of old | P |
| As a princess weareth a crown of gold | P |
| The little sweetheart you know for truth | Q |
| Who lives for aye in the Land of Youth | Q |
| Who never dies who is always fair | R |
| With eyes of mischief and tomboy hair | R |
| Whom your heart still follows and worships it seems | G |
| Forever and aye in the Land o' Dreams | G |
