Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB ABABAAAB DBDBDDDB

Cool is the wind for the summer is waningA
Who 's for the roadB
Sun flecked and soft where the dead leaves are rainingA
Who 's for the roadB
Knapsack and alpenstock press hand and shoulderC
Prick of the brier and roll of the boulderC
This be your lot till the season grow olderC
Who 's for the roadB
-
Up and away in the hush of the morningA
Who 's for the roadB
Vagabond he all conventions a scorningA
Who 's for the roadB
Music of warblers so merrily singingA
Draughts from the rill from the roadside up springingA
Nectar of grapes from the vines lowly swingingA
These on the roadB
-
Now every house is a hut or a hovelD
Come to the roadB
Mankind and moles in the dark love to grovelD
But to the roadB
Throw off the loads that are bending you doubleD
Love is for life only labor is troubleD
Truce to the town whose best gift is a bubbleD
Come to the roadB

Paul Laurence Dunbar
