On And On Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GEGE HCHC EIEI JKJK| By long leagues of wood and meadow | A |
| On and on we drive apace | B |
| In the dreamy light and shadow | A |
| Veiling earth's autumnal face | B |
| - | |
| Rosy clouds are drifting o'er us | C |
| Rooks rise parleying from their tryst | D |
| And the road lies far before us | C |
| Fading into amethyst | D |
| - | |
| On and on through leagues of heather | E |
| Deeps of scarlet beaded lane | F |
| Like a pheasant's golden feather | E |
| Golden leaves around us rain | F |
| - | |
| On and on where woodlands hoary | G |
| In October's lavish fire | E |
| Flame up with unearthly glory | G |
| Beauteous summer's funeral pyre | E |
| - | |
| On and on where casements blinking | H |
| Lighten into transient gules | C |
| As the dying day in sinking | H |
| Splashes all the wayside pools | C |
| - | |
| On and on the land grows dimmer | E |
| And our road recedes afar | I |
| While on either hand there glimmer | E |
| Setting sun and rising star | I |
| - | |
| Would I knew what thoughts steal o'er you | J |
| As the long road lengthens yet | K |
| Ah like hope it winds before you | J |
| And behind me like regret | K |
