The Stable Path Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEABABBFBF| The last red rose on the arch has faded | A |
| The border has mourned for its last white flower | B |
| The dahlias droop where the frost has raided | C |
| The grass is wet with an autumn shower | B |
| Dull are the paths with their leaf strewn gravel | D |
| Cold is the wind as it wanders by | E |
| Still there's a path that a man can travel | D |
| Happy at heart though the roses die | E |
| The path to the stable Though summer be ended | A |
| Though down through the garden no bird be astir | B |
| This path has new melodies tunefully blended | A |
| The flick of a whip with the clink of a spur | B |
| So on through the yew trees where shadows strike chiller | B |
| Across the paved courtyard at last to the stall | F |
| Where pawing in eagerness chained on the pillar | B |
| Stands champing his bit bars the Pearl of them All | F |
