Rich Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHFJKJ LMNMOPLP| Who has a troop of romping youth | A |
| About his parlour floor | B |
| Who nightly hears a round of cheers | C |
| When he is at the door | B |
| Who is attacked on every side | D |
| By eager little hands | E |
| That reach to tug his grizzled mug | F |
| The wealth of earth commands | E |
| - | |
| Who knows the joys of girls and boys | G |
| His lads and lassies too | H |
| Who's pounced upon and bounced upon | I |
| When his day's work is through | H |
| Whose trousers know the gentle tug | F |
| Of some glad little tot | J |
| The baby of his crew of love | K |
| Is wealthier than a lot | J |
| - | |
| Oh be he poor and sore distressed | L |
| And weary with the fight | M |
| If with a whoop his healthy troop | N |
| Run welcoming at night | M |
| And kisses greet him at the end | O |
| Of all his toiling grim | P |
| With what is best in life he's blest | L |
| And rich men envy him | P |
