The King Of Candyland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DADAEE FGFGHH IBIBJJ HGHGAA| Have you heard of the king of Candy land | A |
| Well listen while I sing | B |
| He has pages on every hand | A |
| For he is a mighty king | B |
| And thousands of children bend the knee | C |
| And bow to this ruler of high degree | C |
| - | |
| He has a smile oh like the sun | D |
| And his face is round and bland | A |
| His bright eyes twinkle and glow with fun | D |
| As the children kiss his hand | A |
| And everything toothsome melting sweet | E |
| He scatters freely before their feet | E |
| - | |
| But wo for the children who follow him | F |
| With loving praises and laughter | G |
| For he is a monster ugly and grim | F |
| That they go running after | G |
| And when they get well into the chase | H |
| He lifts his masque and shows his face | H |
| - | |
| And ah but that is a gruesome sight | I |
| For the followers of the king | B |
| The cheeks grow pale that once were bright | I |
| And they sob instead of sing | B |
| And their teeth drop out and their eyes grow red | J |
| And they cannot sleep when they go to bed | J |
| - | |
| And after they see the monster's face | H |
| They have no peaceful hour | G |
| And they have aches in every place | H |
| And what was sweet seems sour | G |
| Oh wo for that sorrowful foolish band | A |
| Who follow the king of Candy land | A |
