The Path O' Little Children Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH AAII

The path o' little children is the path I want to treadA
Where green is every valley and every rose is redA
Where laughter's always ringing and every smile is realB
And where the hurts are little hurts that just a kiss will healB
-
The path o' little children on the primrose edge o' lifeC
That leads away from jealousy and bitterness and strifeC
The path that leads to gladness that's the way I want to goD
Where no one speaks unkindly an' where no one keeps a foeD
-
The path o' little children that winds o'er hill and daleE
An' leads us down to gentle seas where tiny vessels sailE
An' leads us through the barnyard an' through the pasture barsF
An' brings us home at evening with hearts that know no scarsF
-
The path o' little children where peaceful dreams come trueG
Where sunshine's always streaming an' every sky is blueG
Where each one loves the other an' every one is fairH
An' cheeks are pink with beauty an' singing fills the airH
-
The path o' little children it's there I want to treadA
Where innocence is dwelling with not a thing to dreadA
Where care is not an ogre and sin is but a nameI
An' no one thinks of money an' no one sighs for fameI
