Up-hill
by christina rossetti

does the road wind up-hill all the way?
yes, to the very end.
will the day's journey take the whole long day?
from morn to night, my friend.

but is there for the night a resting-place?
a roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
may not the darkness hide it from my face?
you cannot miss that inn.

shall i meet other wayfarers at night?
those who have gone before.
then must i knock, or call when just in sight?
they will not keep you standing at that door.

shall i find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
of labour you shall find the sum.
will there be beds for me and all who seek?
yea, beds for all who come.

There are 16 lines, every verse has four of them

Explanation:

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
