Up To The Ceiling Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEAEDFDFAAAA FDADDADAGDGDDDAD

Up to the ceilingA
And down to the floorB
Hear him now squealingA
And calling for moreB
Laughing and shoutingA
'Away up ' he criesC
Who could be doubtingA
The love in his eyesC
Heigho my babyD
And heigho my sonE
Up to the ceilingA
Is wonderful funE
Bigger than daddyD
And bigger than motherF
Only a laddieD
But bigger than brotherF
Laughing and crowingA
And squirming and wrigglingA
Cheeks fairly glowingA
Now cooing and gigglingA
Down to the cellarF
Then quick as a dartD
Up to the ceilingA
Brings joy to the heartD
Gone is the hurryD
The anguish and stingA
The heartache and worryD
That business cares bringA
Gone is the hustleG
The clamor for goldD
The rush and the bustleG
The day's affairs holdD
Peace comes to the batteredD
Old heart of his dadD
When 'up to the ceiling'A
He plays with his ladD
