Poet's Path Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIJIKLML NOFOPQRQ HSTSUAVVA| My garden hath a slender path | A |
| With ivy overgrown | B |
| A secret place where once would pace | C |
| A pot all alone | B |
| I see him now with fretted brow | D |
| Plunged deep in thought | E |
| And sometimes he would write maybe | F |
| And sometimes he would not | G |
| - | |
| A verse a day he used to say | H |
| Keeps worry from the door | I |
| Without the stink of printer's ink | J |
| How life would be a bore | I |
| And so from chime of breakfast time | K |
| To supper he would beat | L |
| The pathway flat a mossy mat | M |
| For his poetic feet | L |
| - | |
| He wrote I'm told of gods of old | N |
| And mythologic men | O |
| Far better he had sung maybe | F |
| Of plain folks now and then | O |
| With bitterness he would confess | P |
| Too lofty was his aim | Q |
| And then with woe I saw him throw | R |
| His poems to the flame | Q |
| - | |
| He went away one bitter day | H |
| When death was in the sky | S |
| No further word I ever heard | T |
| Beyond his last goodbye | S |
| Did battle grim take toll of him | U |
| In heaven rocking wrath | A |
| Oh did he write in starry flight | V |
| His name in flame on hell brewed night | V |
| Well there's my poet's path | A |
