Where Children Play Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFDDCC GGHHAADD| On 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 |
