Wood-ways Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEDEFGGFGG H GGIIJKJKLGGMGG| O roads O paths O ways that lead | A |
| Through woods where all the oak trees bleed | B |
| With autumn and the frosty reds | C |
| Of fallen leaves make whispering beds | C |
| For winds to toss and turn upon | D |
| Like restless Care that can not sleep | E |
| Beneath whose rustling tatters wan | D |
| The last wildflow'r is buried deep | E |
| One way of all I love to wend | F |
| That towards the golden sunset goes | G |
| A way o'er which the red leaf blows | G |
| With an old gateway at its end | F |
| Where Summer that my soul o'erflows | G |
| My summer of love blooms like a wildwood rose | G |

| O winter ways when spears of ice | G |
| Arm every bough and in a vice | G |
| Of iron frost the streams are held | I |
| When where the deadened oak was felled | I |
| For firewood deep the snow and sleet | J |
| Where lone the muffled woodsmen toiled | K |
| Are trampled down by heavy feet | J |
| And network of the frost is spoiled | K |
| O road I love to take again | L |
| While gray the heaven sleets or snows | G |
| At whose far end at twilight's close | G |
| Glimmers an oldtime window pane | M |
| Where spring that is my heart's repose | G |
| My spring of love like a great fire glows | G |
