The Lonely Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAAB CDCCD EFEEF| The Lonely Road | A |
| So long had I travelled the lonely road | A |
| Though now and again a wayfairing friend | B |
| Walked shoulder to shoulder and lightened the load | A |
| I often would think to myself as I strode | A |
| No comrade will journey with you to the end | B |
| - | |
| And it seemed to me as the days went past | C |
| And I gossiped with cronies or brooded alone | D |
| By wayside fires that my fortune was cast | C |
| To sojourn by other men's hearths to the last | C |
| And never to come to my own hearthstone | D |
| - | |
| The lonely road no longer I roam | E |
| We met and were one in the heart's desire | F |
| Together we came through the wintry gloam | E |
| To the little old house by the cross ways home | E |
| And crossed the threshold and kindled the fire | F |
