The Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBB ADED E EBE BEEEC| Along the road I smelt the rose | A |
| The wild rose in its veil of rain | B |
| And how it was God only knows | A |
| But with its scent I saw again | C |
| A girl's face at a window pane | B |
| Gazing through tears that fell like rain | B |
| - | |
| 'Tis twelve years now so I suppose | A |
| Twelve years ago 'Twas then I thought | D |
| 'Love is a burden bitter sweet | E |
| And he who runs must not be fraught | D |
| Free must his heart be as his feet ' | - |
| - | |
| Again I heard myself repeat | E |
| 'Love is a burden bitter sweet ' | - |
| Yet all my aims had come to nought | E |
| I smelt the rose I felt the rain | B |
| Lonely I stood upon the road | E |
| - | |
| Of one thing only was I fain | B |
| To be delivered of my load | E |
| A moment more and on I strode | E |
| I cared not whither led the road | E |
| That led not back to her again | C |
