The Little Go-cart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IIJJ| It was long long ago that a soul like a flower | A |
| Unfolded and blossomed and passed in an hour | A |
| It was long long ago and the memory seems | B |
| Like the pleasures and sorrows that come in our dreams | B |
| - | |
| The kind years have crowned me with many a joy | C |
| Since the going away of my wee little boy | C |
| Each one as it passed me has stooped with a kiss | D |
| And left some delight knowing one thing I miss | D |
| - | |
| But when in the park or the street all elate | E |
| A baby I see in his carriage of state | E |
| As proud as a king in his little go cart | F |
| I feel all the mother love stir in my heart | F |
| - | |
| And I seem to be back in that long vanished May | G |
| And the baby who came but to hurry away | G |
| In the little white hearse is not dead but alive | H |
| And out in his little go cart for a drive | H |
| - | |
| I whisper a prayer as he rides down the street | I |
| And my thoughts follow after him tender and sweet | I |
| For I know by a law that is vast and divine | J |
| Though I know not his name that the baby is mine | J |
