Little Girls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDD EEFFGG HHIIJK| God made the little boys for fun for rough and tumble times of play | A |
| He made their little legs to run and race and scamper through the day | A |
| He made them strong for climbing trees he suited them for horns and | B |
| drums | C |
| And filled them full of revelries so they could be their father's chums | C |
| But then He saw that gentle ways must also travel from above | D |
| And so through all our troubled days He sent us little girls to love | D |
| - | |
| He knew that earth would never do unless a bit of Heaven it had | E |
| Men needed eyes divinely blue to toil by day and still be glad | E |
| A world where only men and boys made merry would in time grow stale | F |
| And so He shared His Heavenly joys that faith in Him should never fail | F |
| He sent us down a thousand charms He decked our ways with golden curls | G |
| And laughing eyes and dimpled arms He let us have His little girls | G |
| - | |
| They are the tenderest of His flowers the little angels of His flock | H |
| And we may keep and call them ours until God's messenger shall knock | H |
| They bring to us the gentleness and beauty that we sorely need | I |
| They soothe us with each fond caress and strengthen us for every deed | I |
| And happy should that mortal be whom God has trusted through the years | J |
| To guard a little girl and see that she is kept from pain and tears | K |
