The Skipping-rope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABABAB| SURE never yet was antelope | A |
| Could skip so lightly by | B |
| Stand off or else my skipping rope | A |
| Will hit you in the eye | B |
| How lightly Whirls the skipping rope | A |
| How fairy like you fly | B |
| Go get you gone you muse and mope | A |
| I hate that silly sigh | B |
| Nay dearest teach me how to hope | A |
| Or tell me how to die | B |
| There take it take my skipping rope | A |
| And hang yourself thereby | B |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
