The Playing Infant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| Play on thy mother's bosom babe for in that holy isle | A |
| The error cannot find thee yet the grieving nor the guile | A |
| Held in thy mother's arms above life's dark and troubled wave | B |
| Thou lookest with thy fearless smile upon the floating grave | B |
| Play loveliest innocence Thee yet Arcadia circles round | C |
| A charmed power for thee has set the lists of fairy ground | C |
| Each gleesome impulse Nature now can sanction and befriend | D |
| Nor to that willing heart as yet the duty and the end | D |
| Play for the haggard labor soon will come to seize its prey | E |
| Alas when duty grows thy law enjoyment fades away | E |
