The Little Children Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF

Hunger points a bony fingerA
To the workhouse on the hillB
But the little children lingerA
While there's flowers to gather stillB
For my sunny window sillB
-
In my hands I take their facesC
Smiling to my smiles they runD
Would that I could take their placesC
Where the murky bye ways shunD
The benedictions of the sunD
-
How they laugh and sing returningE
Lightly on their secret wayF
While I listen in my yearningE
Their laughter fills the windy dayF
With gladness youth and MayF
