Marjorie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGHGHIJIJKLKL MNON| The house is as it was when she was here | A |
| There's nothing changed at all about the place | B |
| The books she loved to read are waiting near | C |
| As if to morrow they would see her face | B |
| Her room remains the way it used to be | D |
| Here are the puzzles that she pondered on | E |
| Yet since the angels called for Marjorie | D |
| The joyous spirit of the home has gone | F |
| All things grew lovely underneath her touch | G |
| The room was bright because it knew her smile | H |
| From her the tiniest trinket gathered much | G |
| The cheapest toy became a thing worth while | H |
| Yet here are her possessions as they were | I |
| No longer joys to set the eyes aglow | J |
| To day as we they seem to mourn for her | I |
| And share the sadness that is ours to know | J |
| Half sobbing now we put her games away | K |
| Because dumb things they cannot understand | L |
| Why never more shall Marjorie come to play | K |
| And we have faith in God at our command | L |
| These toys we smiled at once now start our tears | M |
| They seem to wonder why they lie so still | N |
| They call her name and will throughout the years | O |
| God strengthen us to bow unto Thy will | N |
