The Rock-a-by Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CDCCCD EBEEEB ABAAAB| The Rock a By Lady from Hushaby street | A |
| Comes stealing comes creeping | B |
| The poppies they hang from her head to her feet | A |
| And each hath a dream that is tiny and fleet | A |
| She bringeth her poppies to you my sweet | A |
| When she findeth you sleeping | B |
| - | |
| There is one little dream of a beautiful drum | C |
| Rub a dub it goeth | D |
| There is one little dream of a big sugar plum | C |
| And lo thick and fast the other dreams come | C |
| Of popguns that bang and tin tops that hum | C |
| And a trumpet that bloweth | D |
| - | |
| And dollies peep out of those wee little dreams | E |
| With laughter and singing | B |
| And boats go a floating on silvery streams | E |
| And the stars peek a boo with their own misty gleams | E |
| And up up and up where the Mother Moon beams | E |
| The fairies go winging | B |
| - | |
| Would you dream all these dreams that are tiny and fleet | A |
| They'll come to you sleeping | B |
| So shut the two eyes that are weary my sweet | A |
| For the Rock a By Lady from Hushaby street | A |
| With poppies that hang from her head to her feet | A |
| Comes stealing comes creeping | B |
