A Baby Running Barefoot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADCE FCFGHI| When the bare feet of the baby beat across the grass | A |
| The little white feet nod like white flowers in the wind | B |
| They poise and run like ripples lapping across the water | C |
| And the sight of their white play among the grass | A |
| Is like a little robin s song winsome | D |
| Or as two white butterflies settle in the cup of one flower | C |
| For a moment then away with a flutter of wings | E |
| - | |
| I long for the baby to wander hither to me | F |
| Like a wind shadow wandering over the water | C |
| So that she can stand on my knee | F |
| With her little bare feet in my hands | G |
| Cool like syringa buds | H |
| Firm and silken like pink young peony flowers | I |
