Glad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCDCD BGBGCDCD HIHIJDCD| There's a battered old drum on the floor | A |
| And a Teddy bear sleeps in my chair | B |
| There's a doll carriage barring the door | A |
| Ah it's weeks since she trundled it there | B |
| There are building blocks strewn in the hall | C |
| And a train of cars wrecked on the track | D |
| And I smile as I gaze at them all | C |
| Thank goodness the children are back | D |
| - | |
| There's a handkerchief tied to my cane | E |
| That's a flag that a soldier boy bears | F |
| Now the yard is a grim battle plain | E |
| And the soldiers are marching in pairs | F |
| There are finger marks now on the wall | C |
| That were left there by hands that were black | D |
| But I smile as I gaze at them all | C |
| Thank goodness the children are back | D |
| - | |
| There are cries of delight and despair | B |
| Resounding once more through the place | G |
| There are pillow fights fierce on the stair | B |
| And down through the hall there's a race | G |
| There's a bump of a terrible fall | C |
| As the enemy's camp they attack | D |
| But I smile as I list to it all | C |
| Thank goodness the children are back | D |
| - | |
| For give me the clamor and noise | H |
| And give me the pranks that they play | I |
| The disturbance of girls and of boys | H |
| That comes at the end of the day | I |
| For I'm sick of monotony's pall | J |
| That hovered for weeks o'er the shack | D |
| It is music to me when they call | C |
| Thank goodness the children are back | D |
