Hi-spy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBF GHGH| Strange that the city thoroughfare | A |
| Noisy and bustling all the day | B |
| Should with the night renounce its care | A |
| And lend itself to children's play | B |
| - | |
| Oh girls are girls and boys are boys | C |
| And have been so since Abel's birth | D |
| And shall be so till dolls and toys | C |
| Are with the children swept from earth | D |
| - | |
| The self same sport that crowns the day | B |
| Of many a Syrian shepherd's son | E |
| Beguiles the little lads at play | B |
| By night in stately Babylon | F |
| - | |
| I hear their voices in the street | G |
| Yet 't is so different now from then | H |
| Come brother from your winding sheet | G |
| And let us two be boys again | H |
