The Lure That Failed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ KDKLMGMGJAJL| I know a wonderful land I said | A |
| Where the skies are always blue | B |
| Where on chocolate drops are the children fed | A |
| And coconut cookies too | B |
| Where puppy dogs romp at the children's feet | C |
| And the liveliest kittens play | D |
| And little tin soldiers guard the street | C |
| To frighten the bears away | D |
| This land is reached by a wonderful ship | E |
| That sails on a golden tide | F |
| But never a grown up makes the trip | E |
| It is only a children's ride | F |
| And never a cross patch journeys there | G |
| And never a pouting face | H |
| For it is the Land of Smiling where | G |
| A frown is a big disgrace | H |
| Oh you board the ship when the sun goes down | I |
| And over a gentle sea | J |
| You slip away from the noisy town | I |
| To the land of the chocolate tree | J |
| And there till the sun comes over the hill | K |
| You frolic and romp and play | D |
| And of candy and cake you eat your fill | K |
| With no one to tell you 'Nay ' | L |
| So come It is time for the ship to go | M |
| To this wonderful land so fair | G |
| And gently the summer breezes blow | M |
| To carry you safely there | G |
| So come Set sail on this golden sea | J |
| To the land that is free from dread | A |
| 'I know what you mean ' she said to me | J |
| 'An' I don't wanna go to bed ' | L |
