Breakfast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDDEFGFHHIIJJK LMMJJNNOOEE| A dinner party coffee tea | A |
| Sandwich or supper all may be | A |
| In their way pleasant But to me | A |
| Not one of these deserves the praise | B |
| That welcomer of new born days | B |
| A breakfast merits ever giving | C |
| Cheerful notice we are living | C |
| Another day refreshed by sleep | D |
| When its festival we keep | D |
| Now although I would not slight | E |
| Those kindly words we use 'Good night ' | F |
| Yet parting words are words of sorrow | G |
| And may not vie with sweet 'Good morrow ' | F |
| With which again our friends we greet | H |
| When in the breakfast room we meet | H |
| At the social table round | I |
| Listening to the lively sound | I |
| Of those notes which never tire | J |
| Of urn or kettle on the fire | J |
| Sleepy Robert never hears | K |
| Or urn or kettle he appears | L |
| When all have finished one by one | M |
| Dropping off and breakfast done | M |
| Yet has he too his own pleasure | J |
| His breakfast hour's his hour of leisure | J |
| And left alone he reads or muses | N |
| Or else in idle mood he uses | N |
| To sit and watch the venturous fly | O |
| Where the sugar's pil d high | O |
| Clambering o'er the lumps so white | E |
| Rocky cliffs of sweet delight | E |
