Leader Of The Gang Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCBB DDBB EFBB| Seems only just a year ago that he was toddling round the place | A |
| In pretty little colored suits and with a pink and shining face | A |
| I used to hold him in my arms to watch when our canary sang | B |
| And now tonight he tells me that he's leader of his gang | B |
| - | |
| It seems but yesterday I vow that I with fear was almost dumb | C |
| Living those dreadful hours of care waiting the time for him to come | C |
| And I can still recall the thrill of that first cry of his which rang | B |
| Within our walls And now that babe tells me he's leader of his gang | B |
| - | |
| Gone from our lives are all the joys which yesterday we used to own | D |
| The baby that we thought we had out of the little home has flown | D |
| And in his place another stands whose garments in disorder hang | B |
| A lad who now with pride proclaims that he's the leader of his gang | B |
| - | |
| And yet somehow I do not grieve for what it seems we may have lost | E |
| To have so strong a boy as this most cheerfully I pay the cost | F |
| I find myself a sense of joy to comfort every little pang | B |
| And pray that they shall find in him a worthy leader of the gang | B |
