The End Of The Trail Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGI ABABJIJI| Life you've been mighty good to me | A |
| Yet here's the end of the trail | B |
| No more mountain moor and sea | A |
| No more saddle and sail | B |
| Waves a leap in the laughing sun | C |
| Call to me as of yore | D |
| Alas my errant days are done | C |
| I'll rove no more no more | D |
| - | |
| Life you've cheered me all the way | E |
| You've been my bosom friend | F |
| But gayest dog will have his day | E |
| And biggest binge must end | F |
| Shorebound I watch and see afar | G |
| A wistful isle grow wan | H |
| While over is a last lone star | G |
| Dims out in lilac dawn | I |
| - | |
| Life you've been wonderful to me | A |
| But fleetest foot must fail | B |
| The hour must come when all will see | A |
| The last lap of the trail | B |
| Yet holding in my heart a hymn | J |
| Of praise for gladness gone | I |
| Serene I wait my star to dim | J |
| In the glow of the Greater Dawn | I |
