Christmas Eve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDD EEFGGFHH IIJKKJLL MMNOONLL

BACK UP Old Age and Wrinkled FaceA
Come Selfish Grown Up quit the placeA
You Pessimist departB
Now Gloomy Gus and Doleful FrownC
There is no room for you in townC
Nor Bitter Ache and SmartB
Childhood tonight is King of EarthD
Make room for Laughter and for MirthD
-
Step down a moment Out for FameE
Hard headed business man the sameE
And You who won't believeF
Move on now Lust for Gold make wayG
For Innocence and Youth and PlayG
For this is Christmas EveF
Bowed down by Care make room make roomH
Let little ones dispel the gloomH
-
Soured on the World you've had your flingI
You've been a failure as a KingI
Your reign at last is doneJ
And you grim prophet of DespairK
Who view no thing on earth as fairK
Make way tonight for FunJ
Your citadels are overthrownL
Tonight Youth comes unto the throneL
-
Envy and Hate and Haughty PrideM
'T is time for you to turn asideM
Let Love and Childhood passN
The night of nights has come once moreO
E'en Sorrow journeys from the doorO
Come little boy and lassN
The world is yours ascend the throneL
Your subjects we and yours aloneL
