Where Children Play Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFDDCC GGHHAADDOn every street there's a certain place | A |
Where the children gather to romp and race | A |
There's a certain house where they meet in throngs | B |
To play their games and to sing their songs | B |
And they trample the lawn with their busy feet | C |
And they scatter their playthings about the street | C |
But though some folks order them off I say | D |
Let the house be mine where the children play | D |
- | |
Armies gather about the door | E |
And fill the air with their battle roar | E |
Cowboys swinging their lariat loops | F |
Dash round the house with the wildest whoops | F |
And old folks have to look out when they | D |
Are holding an Indian tribe at bay | D |
For danger may find them on flying feet | C |
Who pass by the house where the children meet | C |
- | |
There are lawns too lovely to bear the weight | G |
Of a troop of boys when they roller skate | G |
There are porches fine that must never know | H |
The stamping of footsteps that come and go | H |
But on every street there's a favorite place | A |
Where the children gather to romp and race | A |
And I'm glad in my heart that it's mine to say | D |
Ours is the house where the children play | D |
