Treasures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGHHIIFF JJKKLLMMN| Some folks I know when friends drop in | A |
| To visit for awhile and chin | A |
| Just lead them round the rooms and halls | B |
| And show them pictures on their walls | B |
| And point to rugs and tapestries | C |
| The works of men across the seas | C |
| Their loving cups they show with pride | D |
| To eyes that soon are stretching wide | D |
| With wonder at the treasures rare | E |
| That have been bought and gathered there | E |
| - | |
| But when folks come to call on me | F |
| I've no such things for them to see | F |
| No picture on my walls is great | G |
| I have no ancient family plate | G |
| No tapestry of rare design | H |
| Or costly woven rugs are mine | H |
| I have no loving cup to show | I |
| Or strange and valued curio | I |
| But if my treasures they would see | F |
| I bid them softly follow me | F |
| - | |
| And then I lead them up the stairs | J |
| Through trains of cars and Teddy bears | J |
| And to a little room we creep | K |
| Where both my youngsters lie asleep | K |
| Close locked in one another's arms | L |
| I let them gaze upon their charms | L |
| I let them see the legs of brown | M |
| Curled up beneath a sleeping gown | M |
| And whisper in my happiness | N |
| 'Behold the treasures I possess ' | - |
