The Summer Children Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| I like 'em in the winter when their cheeks are slightly pale | A |
| I like 'em in the spring time when the March winds blow a gale | A |
| But when summer suns have tanned 'em and they're racing to and fro | B |
| I somehow think the children make the finest sort of show | B |
| When they're brown as little berries and they're bare of foot and head | C |
| And they're on the go each minute where the velvet lawns are spread | C |
| Then their health is at its finest and they never stop to rest | D |
| Oh it's then I think the children look and are their very best | D |
| We've got to know the winter and we've got to know the spring | E |
| But for children could I do it unto summer I would cling | E |
| For I'm happiest when I see 'em as a wild and merry band | F |
| Of healthy lusty youngsters that the summer sun has tanned | F |
