To Another Woman's Baby Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFH IJIJ| I list your prattle baby boy | A |
| And hear your pattering feet | B |
| With feelings more of pain than joy | A |
| And thoughts of bitter sweet | B |
| - | |
| While touching your soft hands in play | C |
| Such passionate longings rise | D |
| For my wee boy who strayed away | C |
| So soon to Paradise | E |
| - | |
| You win me with your infant art | F |
| But when our play is o'er | G |
| The empty cradle in my heart | F |
| Seems lonelier than before | H |

| Sweet baby boy you do not guess | I |
| How oft mine eyes are dim | J |
| Or that my lingering caress | I |
| Is sometimes meant for HIM | J |
