The Tramps Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAEFE| Can you recall dear comrade when we tramped God's land together | A |
| And we sang the old old Earth song for our youth was very sweet | B |
| When we drank and fought and lusted as we mocked at tie and tether | A |
| Along the road to Anywhere the wide world at our feet | B |
| - | |
| Along the road to Anywhere when each day had its story | C |
| When time was yet our vassal and life's jest was still unstale | D |
| When peace unfathomed filled our hearts as bathed in amber glory | C |
| Along the road to Anywhere we watched the sunsets pale | D |
| - | |
| Alas the road to Anywhere is pitfalled with disaster | A |
| There's hunger want and weariness yet O we loved it so | E |
| As on we tramped exultantly and no man was our master | A |
| And no man guessed what dreams were ours as swinging heel and toe | E |
| We tramped the road to Anywhere the magic road to Anywhere | F |
| The tragic road to Anywhere such dear dim years ago | E |
