The Child-s Monitor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHHIJJ H K AALL| THE wind blows down the largest tree | A |
| And yet the wind I cannot see | A |
| Playmates far off who have been kind | B |
| My thought can bring before my mind | B |
| The past by it is present brought | C |
| And yet I cannot see my thought | C |
| The charming rose scents all the air | D |
| Yet I can see no perfume there | D |
| Blithe Robin's notes how sweet how clear | E |
| From his small bill they reach my ear | F |
| And whilst upon the air they float | G |
| I hear yet cannot see a note | G |
| When I would do what is forbid | H |
| By something in my heart I'm chid | H |
| When good I think then quick and pat | H |
| That something says 'My child do that ' | I |
| When I too near the stream would go | J |
| So pleased to see the waters flow | J |
| - | |
| That something says without a sound | H |
| 'Take care dear child you may be drown'd ' | - |
| And for the poor whene'er I grieve | K |
| That something says 'A penny give ' | - |
| - | |
| Thus something very near must be | A |
| Although invisible to me | A |
| Whate'er I do it sees me still | L |
| O then good Spirit guide my will | L |
