The Way Through The Woods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADEDDDDD DFDFDGHGGDGDD| They shut the road through the woods | A |
| Seventy years ago | B |
| Weather and rain have undone it again | C |
| And now you would never know | B |
| There was once a road through the woods | A |
| Before they planted the trees | D |
| It is underneath the coppice and heath | E |
| And the thin anemones | D |
| Only the keeper sees | D |
| That where the ring dove broods | D |
| And the badgers roll at ease | D |
| There was once a road through the woods | D |
| - | |
| Yet if you enter the woods | D |
| Of a summer evening late | F |
| When the night air cools on the trout ringed pools | D |
| Where the otter whistles his mate | F |
| They fear not men in the woods | D |
| Because they see so few | G |
| You will hear the beat of a horse's feet | H |
| And the swish of a skirt in the dew | G |
| Steadily cantering through | G |
| The misty solitudes | D |
| As though they perfectly knew | G |
| The old lost road through the woods | D |
| But there is no road through the woods | D |
