Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO| I travelled the old road every day I took my fruits to the market | A |
| my cattle to the meadows I ferried my boat across the stream and | B |
| all the ways were well known to me | C |
| One morning my basket was heavy with wares Men were busy in | D |
| the fields the pastures crowded with cattle the breast of earth | E |
| heaved with the mirth of ripening rice | F |
| Suddenly there was a tremor in the air and the sky seemed to | G |
| kiss me on my forehead My mind started up like the morning out of | H |
| mist | I |
| I forgot to follow the track I stepped a few paces from the | J |
| path and my familiar world appeared strange to me like a flower | K |
| I had only known in bud | L |
| My everyday wisdom was ashamed I went astray in the fairyland | M |
| of things It was the best luck of my life that I lost my path that | N |
| morning and found my eternal childhood | O |
