Adventure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCCB DDBEEEB FFBGGGB HHBIIIBOut of the wood my White Knight came | A |
His eyes were bright with a bitter flame | A |
As I clung to his stirrup leather | B |
For I was only a dreaming lad | C |
Yet oh what a wonderful faith I had | C |
And the song in my heart was never so glad | C |
As we took to the trail together | B |
- | |
Friends and lovers good bye I said | D |
Never once did I turn my head | D |
Though wickedly wild the weather | B |
min were the rover's rags and scars | E |
And the rover's bed beneath the stars | E |
But never the shadow of prison bars | E |
As we ranged the world together | B |
- | |
Dreary and darkling was the trail | F |
But my Knight was clad in a gleaming mail | F |
And he plucked from his plume a feather | B |
And oh how foolishly proud was I | G |
I'll wear it I told him till I die | G |
Freemen we'll be of sea and sky | G |
To the ends of the earth together | B |
- | |
Yet now I know by my failing breath | H |
I'm ripe for the last adventure Death | H |
And I've reached the end of my tether | B |
But my Knight of the shining mail is there | I |
And his eyes are bright and he bids me dare | I |
So into the Dark let's boldly fare | I |
Into the Dark together | B |
