Worth While Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHIJDJD KLKLCDCD| He doesn't care that I'm not rich | A |
| Or that I'm poorly dressed | B |
| That I'm a toiler in the ditch | A |
| He hasn't even guessed | B |
| My faults that other people know | C |
| He doesn't even see | D |
| For every night with eyes aglow | C |
| He toddles up to me | D |
| - | |
| Although I'm just a common dub | E |
| And ordinary clay | F |
| His cheek to mine he's glad to rub | E |
| Before I go away | F |
| And every night when I return | G |
| He's glad as he can be | D |
| And though but little I may earn | G |
| He toddles up to me | D |
| - | |
| To come to me he'd leave a king | H |
| If one were sitting near | I |
| Unto no millionaire he'd cling | H |
| If only I'd appear | I |
| And though but tattered rags are mine | J |
| When I go home to tea | D |
| With eyes that fairly beam and shine | J |
| He'd toddle up to me | D |
| - | |
| And so I've reason to be glad | K |
| And reason to rejoice | L |
| It's worth the world to be a dad | K |
| To be a baby's choice | L |
| There is no prize fame can bestow | C |
| No joy can ever be | D |
| So real as when with eyes aglow | C |
| He toddles up to me | D |
