The Song Of The Children Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH CJJJ KLCL

The World is ours till sunsetA
Holly and fire and snowB
And the name of our dead brotherC
Who loved us long agoB
-
The grown folk mighty and cunningD
They write his name in goldE
But we can tell a littleF
Of the million tales he toldE
-
He taught them laws and watchwordsG
To preach and struggle and prayH
But he taught us deep in the hayfieldI
The games that the angels playH
-
Had he stayed here for everC
Their world would be wise as oursJ
And the king be cutting capersJ
And the priest be picking flowersJ
-
But the dark day came they gatheredK
On their faces we could seeL
They had taken and slain our brotherC
And hanged him on a treeL
