Vagrants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDD EBBEFFDD CGGCHHII| Long time ago we two set out | A |
| My soul and I | B |
| I know not why | B |
| For all our way was dim with doubt | A |
| I know not where | C |
| We two may fare | C |
| Though still with every changing weather | D |
| We wander groping on together | D |
| - | |
| We do not love we are not friends | E |
| My soul and I | B |
| He lives a lie | B |
| Untruth lines every way he wends | E |
| A scoffer he | F |
| Who jeers at me | F |
| And so my comrade and my brother | D |
| We wander on and hate each other | D |
| - | |
| Ay there be taverns and to spare | C |
| Beside the road | G |
| But some strange goad | G |
| Lets me not stop to taste their fare | C |
| Knew I the goal | H |
| Toward which my soul | H |
| And I made way hope made life fragrant | I |
| But no We wander aimless vagrant | I |
