The Roman Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA ACBD AABBAD| The Roman Road runs straight and bare | A |
| As the pale parting line in hair | A |
| Across the heath And thoughtful men | B |
| Contrast its days of Now and Then | B |
| And delve and measure and compare | A |
| - | |
| Visioning on the vacant air | A |
| Helmeted legionnaires who proudly rear | C |
| The Eagle as they pace again | B |
| The Roman Road | D |
| - | |
| But no tall brass helmeted legionnaire | A |
| Haunts it for me Uprises there | A |
| A mother's form upon my ken | B |
| Guiding my infant steps as when | B |
| We walked that ancient thoroughfare | A |
| The Roman Road | D |
