Where Children Play Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFDDCC GGHHAADD

On every street there's a certain placeA
Where the children gather to romp and raceA
There's a certain house where they meet in throngsB
To play their games and to sing their songsB
And they trample the lawn with their busy feetC
And they scatter their playthings about the streetC
But though some folks order them off I sayD
Let the house be mine where the children playD
-
Armies gather about the doorE
And fill the air with their battle roarE
Cowboys swinging their lariat loopsF
Dash round the house with the wildest whoopsF
And old folks have to look out when theyD
Are holding an Indian tribe at bayD
For danger may find them on flying feetC
Who pass by the house where the children meetC
-
There are lawns too lovely to bear the weightG
Of a troop of boys when they roller skateG
There are porches fine that must never knowH
The stamping of footsteps that come and goH
But on every street there's a favorite placeA
Where the children gather to romp and raceA
And I'm glad in my heart that it's mine to sayD
Ours is the house where the children playD
